I liked the focus on propaganda. Maysilee was a delightful character. Effie was a highlight, too.
I did think it was slightly too crowded and I cared less about individual characters as a result.

Suzanne Collins don’t stop writing HG books!

As others have shared, the emotional rollercoaster is real. You learn how Haymitch was picked for the games, his journey and compare the changes they made between the 10th games and this the 50th, and when you are introduced to characters you know from the later HGs, you find yourself gasping and fully invested in learning how these characters’ plot lines unfold.
There’s a lot of internal monologue. Some people may be put off by this, but I really enjoyed it. You really get a sense of the character’s journey.
I really hope the film does this book justice and that they don’t rush through the story like they did ABoS&S.
