I was warned about crying while reading this book but truly I could not stop crying past the halfway point. I love this book. Suzanne did an amazing job connecting all of the other books to this one. I’m an absolute emotional wreck!

This book wrecked me. I knew from the original Hunger Games trilogy that Haymitch’s story was traumatic, but I had no idea to what extent. Collins is an expert story-crafter, and this book explains everything about what Haymitch endured and how he ended up the way he did. We get to see exactly why he knows so much about Effie, Wiress, Mags, Beetee, and President Snow, and why he’s so glib and hopeless when Katniss and Peeta show up as tributes years after Haymitch’s own Games. I have a whole lot more respect for Haymitch, and wow do I have respect for Collins and the world she’s woven with her words.

The writing is engaging, and the inner thoughts are unique to Haymitch and didn’t feel at all like a copy/paste personality from Katniss’s or President Snow’s stories. And the moments of tension or high emotion were crafted so perfectly that Suzanne was basically wrenching my own heartstrings along with the characters’. It most definitely made me cry, and I’ll most definitely be reading it again one day.

A note: although this book is a prequel, I’d recommend reading the Hunger Games series in the order they were published. That way, you can pick up on all the easter eggs from the previous books, and it makes the experience all the more engaging. With all the hype surrounding this book, it didn’t disappoint!

THE PAIN AND THE HEARTBREAK AND THE BRAVERY AND THE ANGUISH… I have no real words for Haymitch’s story, another fitting though haunting puzzle piece of The Hunger Games saga. This one perhaps the most painful of all. It’s a Linkin Park anthem and a Phoebe Bridgers ballad. It’s hurt and humility, power and resistance, and burning rage. 

But there would be no true mockingjay without the clever songbird and the rebel rascal of before, district 12 forever in Snow’s blindside.

Oh. My. God. This book broke me. It’s just a perfect summation of Haymitch. I cried throughout the whole freaking story, and the narrator for the audiobook was absolutely fantastic!!!
