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.

Pulled me right back in!! So good, so devastating. Kind of scary how relatable some elements were… The arena portion felt the slowest, which is interesting🤔

This is a Hunger Games prequel. Violence is pervasive and graphic (but not sexual violence), and many of the victims and perpetrators are children. Fascism, governmental oppression and discrimination are ubiquitous, as are bigotry and classism. Despite all that, there’s nothing that makes it in any way inappropriate for a YA reader.
