Haymitch was not a perfect protagonist or a rebel hero. He was simply human. His emotional journey throughout Sunrise, and his capacity to blame himself for both real or perceived failings, grounded the plot in reality. Any of us have the capability to intervene when injustice is in front of us. To continue resisting even when it's been decided by broader forces that an example will be made of us. The fact that Haymitch only truly broke
Just because your acts of rebellion go unseen does not mean they didn't make a difference. Do not comply early. Remember that attempting to protect your loved ones, and yourself, will always be a noble cause. Cruelty cannot endure forever so long as people remain to fight against it.

Maybe it was just me, but I did feel like there were parts in this that felt more gruesome and violent than the past. Yes, the Hunger Games are always violent, but something about this felt even moreso. I had moments here where I found myself getting emotional for the characters. Unlike the original trilogy, Songbird and Sunrise don't have a lot of hope which can be hard to read. Collins is such an engaging author though, so you can't help wanting to read on and find out what happens next. I have more and more begun to appreciate Ballad of Songbird and Snake since I read it and the connections here were fascinating to me, I loved the sections where Snow appears. If you are a Hunger Games fan, a must read for you!
