I am ruined. I love you so much, Haymitch. Sometimes babygirl is an alcoholic 40-something year old man. 

Suzanne speaks, YOU LISTEN!!!! MEDIA MANIPULATION. DON’T FORGET IT.

This was everything to me. Could hardly put it down, devastating, sickening. I already loved Haymitch, but having this to fully understand him and his story is more than I ever could have asked for. How he was able to continue going on with his life is beyond me. Idgaf bout no promises, I’m TAKING MY ASS OUT IMMEDIATELYYYYY in this scenario. This series has consumed my entire being, idk what to do now. Stare at my ceiling and think about this forever, I guess.

FINNICK OR JOHANNA’S STORY NEXT PLEASE SUZANNE I AM ABSOLUTELY ON MY HANDS AND KNEES BEGGING YOU.

This one WRECKED me. I had to hold off on finishing the audiobook until I wasn’t driving because I started sobbing in traffic for Haymitch and all he lost. Of the original trilogy as well as Songbirds and Snakes, Sunrise On Reaping is has left me feeling the most melancholy.

Very well written! It really puts you in the story, which is just emotionally devastating (in the best way).

Very good. I really enjoyed connecting the pieces with the other books and understanding why Haymitch is the way he is. I felt like I really dismissed him and didn’t think too hard about his character in the first books but that in and of itself feels now like it is the work of fake news and the media and the capitol! These books really create such a relatable dystopia and full circle world. I’m excited for the movie it seems like they did a good job with casting.

I hate to say it but I don’t think we needed this book. It was good and I liked the attention Collins gave to the government’s manipulation of media, but overall I don’t think it added anything new. It also felt like a sitcom where an applause track starts when you see a character or actor you recognize in that it began to feel stale. I liked it in a “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” sort of way, but I wish we got to see Haymitch as a more unique character without comparing and sharing character arcs and traits with both Katniss and Snow. I liked the comparisons but at times it felt too much.
