Quin viatge tornar a Panem!
He estat ben enganxada a la lectura, tot i saber com acabaria tot i tractant-se d'un llibre que replica el primer de la saga... Però realment és tot tan sàdic i tràgic, que no ho podia deixar. Ara bé, m'ha faltat un punt de trencament emocional, sobretot al final, que no m'ha arribat. Els personatges, inoblidables: em declaro des de ja fan de la Maysilee i, evidentment, en Haymitch es confirma que és el millor.

As a Hunger Games lover I was excited for Haymitch's prequel, especially after the brilliance of A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. It didn't quite live up to my expectations...
 
While it introduced another facet of the Capitol's brutality and gave us the backstory for several of the excellent side characters from the original series, being back in the Hunger Games arena felt like a retread over old ground.

I also felt like the choice to frame Haymitch's Hunger Games as being a not-quite-right time for revolution makes the progression of the original trilogy more confusing. What was so different about Katniss from her predecessors that she became a lightning rod for change? If anything, she seems less attuned to the power of spectacle and symbolism than Haymitch does in this book.
 
I think my tolerance for the brutal deaths of children may be waning, but if Suzanne Collins decides to explore another aspect of Panem, I would love to read it.

i knew this book was gonna hurt me and yet i still wasn’t ready

suzanne collins the writer that you are 😫

a book that shows rebellions don’t just start with one person and sometimes it takes years for those results. i could go on and on about my thoughts but i fear them being unintelligible screaming right now because i love this series so much ahh
