Heartbreaking. That is the only review needed because this is Heartbreaking more than anything.
Collins writes incredible works at a time when it feels the world needs it, and this iteration is nothing less than heartbreaking. Her words are sorrowful and desperate to a capital which doesn't hesitate to send children to their death.
A necessary read to any and every Hunger Games reader. We are not fans because no one should be a fan of this, but we try to take it in. This should also be read by any who hope for a better future.

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.

Collins writes this book so amazingly that it makes TBOSAS seem like a high schooler's first book. The drama and symbolism is dropping from the first page, you can feel Haymitch's hatred and disgust (and eventually self-loathing and trauma) in every word he says ans feels.

Well done Collins.
