I read this book in 3 sittings and less than 24 hours. Suzanne Collins strikes again. I cried multiple times. Highly recommend.
I'm just glad for the epilogue, otherwise it would've been too depressing.

I deeply appreciated the emphasis on the fact that revolution is not a one-off event, and that there are many failed attempts before someone is in the right place at the right time with an army at their back for it to succeed. I think that the concept of it reminds me a lot of Hadestown, where the theme is that revolution and change is hard and most people don't make it and you don't succeed. And you sing it again anyway. Because one day you do change what is inevitable and it's the tragedies and pain that came before that makes it possible. I think releasing a book about propaganda and the ways that those in power manipulate what we believe at this moment in time in US history is a power move. Just the idea of even with this manipulation, there are those fighting against it and will be for generations. A really good book, with lots to think about.

It took me a while to start enjoying this book; by the 2nd part, I was still iffy. This was so heart-wrenching and so so so sad. Haymitch's story was absolutely devastating. It was good to see some other characters from the original trilogy making appearances too, even if it was sometimes too much.
