The epilogue was beautiful - sad but beautiful - very glad it was included. Otherwise it might all have been a bit much.
In several ways felt more like a sequel to Ballad than a prequel to the originals. Not a bad thing though. Loved seeing more of
The character of Lenore Dove was great.
Felt very topical, timely, with the themes of propaganda and media+government driving the narrative through editorialising.
A lovely little authorial dig against generative AI! Quite on-the-nose but no complaints there tbh
I liked the incorporation of The Raven. Made it apparent early on how things would end with
Perhaps it wouldn't have hurt to quote a bit less of the poem in the book and leave it as a thing to explore afterwards. Though it did nicely underline
Definitely a good addition to the overall saga. Although the broad strokes were already known, plenty of surprises along the way, and a very poignant portrait of Haymitch.
If I had to criticise something, it did feel a bit out of character to have

haymitch is one of my favorite characters (along with johanna) so it was nice to get a fuller picture of his hunger games and his life/experience pre and post games. I really enjoyed his fellow district 12 allies and I really enjoyed ampert as well (ampert's death made me mad tho because one it was gruesome imagining it and two because I felt it was too quick/sudden). I enjoyed seeing more of beetee, mags, and wiress as well.
this was much much better than a ballad of songbirds and snakes but not as good as the main books in the series for me.
