This book was more than I could have ever hoped for. It was heartwrenchingly beautiful in the most devastating of ways. I mean, we knew what to expect from the snippet of Haymitch’s Games we see in Catching Fire. We learned briefly what happened to his loved ones in Mockingjay. We see Haymitch’s mental state throughout all 3 books in the original trilogy, so we KNEW this book would be heartbreaking. We knew how it would end, yet somehow, Suzanne Collins took Haymitch’s story and made it into a story we couldn’t have predicted. 

The characterization, the interactions, the plot points, everything was constructed in a way that makes the original series make more sense. We now know why Haymitch acts the way he does. Reading Catching Fire will forever hit differently now.

This book is absolutely brutal. Not that the Hunger Games trilogy wasn't, but this one tore me up.

I adore the way that Haymitch describes Lenore Dove with colors. Collins has done it again, and she keeps the narrative compelling even as we know the ending.

This book mentions a lot of fucked up shit—Panem is not a nice place to live—but Collins handles it all with grace. It is, after all, supposed to be a young adult novel.
