Thus book really  did push limits of what we already knew about Haymitch’s games.
The was a lot of “oh tge game makers will never show this!” the cover all parts that didn't quiet fight the picture already laid out out for us
but there were some amazing easter eggs and deeper looks into the characters and older victors.

Heartbreaking. That is the only review needed because this is Heartbreaking more than anything.
Collins writes incredible works at a time when it feels the world needs it, and this iteration is nothing less than heartbreaking. Her words are sorrowful and desperate to a capital which doesn't hesitate to send children to their death.
A necessary read to any and every Hunger Games reader. We are not fans because no one should be a fan of this, but we try to take it in. This should also be read by any who hope for a better future.

Wow.  This is such a heartbreaking story.  Haymitch’s backstory definitely explain his behavior in the Hunger Game.  

The epilogue helped me manage all the pain of this book.

Beautiful emphasis of why Haymitch is Haymitch, laid out in a typical Hunger Games fashion book. Lots of suspense to build up the short chapters of the actual hunger games and all their horrors packed into a quick Timelapse. The ending was uplifting which was nice after wanting to cry.
