This is a Hunger Games prequel. Violence is pervasive and graphic (but not sexual violence), and many of the victims and perpetrators are children. Fascism, governmental oppression and discrimination are ubiquitous, as are bigotry and classism. Despite all that, there’s nothing that makes it in any way inappropriate for a YA reader.

I really enjoyed reading this, I enjoyed the insight into Hamish’s games and the emphasis on propaganda and how his experiences shaped the character we knew in the original trilogy. 

I thought it was really interesting how the little bit we knew of his games from the original series

was a  heavily edited version created by the capital to be taken out of its original context, essentially rewriting history.

  Very interesting masterful writing. 

 I don’t think I could ever recommend this as an actual literal prequel though, it definitely needs to be read in the order it was written. But phenomenal writing, highly recommend!

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.
