I actually screamed of excitement when I FINALLY got to check this book out. I’ve had it on hold since before it was released. It was fantastic. It was devastating, but so so well done. I loved the parallels to the original series as well as bosas, it was wonderful. I can’t wait to here the new songs with actual melodies :))

Incredible. Flawless. Deliciously brutal. Everything I wanted Haymitch’s story to be and more. Also I’m so sorry for whatever we did to deserve this, Suzanne.

devastating. a bit heavy-handed on the message of it all but given the state of media literacy right now i forgive that.

Felt a little too similar to The Hunger Games, but I guess what can you really do when the book is about a previous Hunger Games? It was nice to get into Haymitch’s character more (along with a few other familiar faces), and I think this has much better pacing than The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes did. I hope she writes about more past games (like Finnick’s, please!). I will read every book she writes in this series.

A very important read, specially these days. Beautifully written, with so many references and parallels to the rest of the series, very sad but also cathartic... just a masterpiece.
