Given Haymitch’s posture in the beginning of The Hunger Games, you know his backstory doesn’t end with a happy ending. But learning about how his character changed as a result of the games brought a new level of empathy to Haymitch and a deeper understanding of just what Katniss was up against in The Hunger Games trilogy. The story also tied up a few questions that the last prequel left its readers with. But most importantly, the story delivers timely messages that should not be ignored: Don’t take everything you see from the government at face value; don’t settle for a situation just because that’s the way it has always been; and don’t underestimate the power that one person can have - sometimes a spark is all that is needed.
This book did not disappoint, and the Easter eggs that transcend across each separate story are a delightful twist for the fans of this series.

“‘Forty-nine kids died for it, but you gave it the old Heavensbee spin and, in that propo, you’re some kind of hero.’
Plutarch takes a moment to answer. ‘I’m nobody’s idea of a hero, Haymitch. But at least I’m still in the game.’”
i think what i loved best about sotr is showing us that plutarch isn’t the good guy. in the original trilogy you would think he’s good, but he was just waiting for his time to pounce. no one in the capitol except for cinna and portia give us an idea that they truly disagree with the games. plutarch always saw it as a means of getting what he wants: he wants power, to control behind the scenes. he wants to be the wizard of oz, paying no attention to the man behind the curtain as long as you believe what he wants.
he didn’t care about stopping that sun from rising, he wanted the power of helping it stop. he didn’t care how many kids died.
