And I thought the first four Hunger Games books were devestating. They absolutely have nothing on this. I fear for the movie, as I doubt it can truly capture the horror and heartbreak Haymitch endures. There is no teenage love story in this arena, just a boy trying to survive as literal children are slaughtered. That is a fact the earlier books and movies let slide a little, with the older protagonists who keep to themselves. But Haymitch's attachment to the younger competetors refuses to let you look away or romanticize the slaughter.

This book gave me chills while reading because it was so good. There is a lot of emotion, Haymitch has a great backstory worth your time. It gives you some background information for certain things such as why Haymitch calls Katniss sweetheart in her books. I would read 'The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes' before this book to make some of the scenes more clear so that you can understand it better. 5 stars easily.

Suzanne Collin’s is a genius! Every book she writes expands the world of Panem is such a spectacular way I’m convinced she’s had it planned all along. 

I’m also convinced she’s read Crimson Rivers based on Haymitch’s Homecoming. I would hypothesize she is Bizarrestars but their writing styles are too different.

“I love you like all fire.”

Thank you Suzanne Collins for the emotional damage…

This was perfection. The links and references to the rest of the series were everything. And every time it linked to or mentioned Lucy Gray, I almost cried honestly—just perfection. Oh Haymitch, I love you. This movie is going to DESTROY me.

The audiobook was so good too. I highly recommend listening to it. The performance is 10/10!

“Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping, and she is the most precious thing I’ve ever known.” 😭
