Yep, just as emotionally draining and thought provoking as I thought it would be, absolutely devastating, 10/10

Very good. I really enjoyed connecting the pieces with the other books and understanding why Haymitch is the way he is. I felt like I really dismissed him and didn’t think too hard about his character in the first books but that in and of itself feels now like it is the work of fake news and the media and the capitol! These books really create such a relatable dystopia and full circle world. I’m excited for the movie it seems like they did a good job with casting.

I hate to say it but I don’t think we needed this book. It was good and I liked the attention Collins gave to the government’s manipulation of media, but overall I don’t think it added anything new. It also felt like a sitcom where an applause track starts when you see a character or actor you recognize in that it began to feel stale. I liked it in a “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” sort of way, but I wish we got to see Haymitch as a more unique character without comparing and sharing character arcs and traits with both Katniss and Snow. I liked the comparisons but at times it felt too much.

“Happy Birthday, Haymitch!”

My heart has been shattered and I don’t know if I’ll ever recover from this book.
