This book gave me many actual stomach aches. No book has ever done that before. But wow, it’s all just genius and incredible and to all the people who say this was fan service— you hate fun.

Outstanding origin story that explains as to how Haymitch became the jaded character we know from the original trilogy. 
It is medium-paced at first, then becomes more fast-paced towards the middle of the book. I needed several days to emotionally recover from this book.

P.s. you get to briefly meet some more characters you already know from the original trilogy

Outstanding epilogue set post-Second Rebellion.

Very disturbing description of the decapitation of a character. One character is described as holding the head of a character they decapitated, with zero remorse.

Very depressing, detailed description of the forced isolation of Haymitch post-games

I was warned about crying while reading this book but truly I could not stop crying past the halfway point. I love this book. Suzanne did an amazing job connecting all of the other books to this one. I’m an absolute emotional wreck!
