Haymitch has always been my favourite character in the series, so when I found out that his Hunger Games were about to get their own novelization of course I had to jump at the chance to read it. 
The whole thing was as tragic and brutal as the original series, even though Haymitch is always playing his own game. It wasn't exactly what I imagined, though it gives a lot of context to his very extreme punishment. All in all this entry in the series seems to mostly concern itself with censorship and how the public opinion might be changed by repression of information, even if it opposes the truth people should remember. In that sense it fits very nicely with the book I read before it and is a bit of a change from the first three books in the series which were more of a manipulation of the public in an emotional sense. I haven't read "The Ballad" though and I feel like this book would have been improved by having that context too. 
A very tragic origin story and a quick read.

N me gustan las traducciones de la Pilar, batalle mucho con este libro por eso. Lo siento pero Haymitch es una persona indígena, no quiero escucharlo hablar como colonizador.

Además de eso, hermoso libro, al principio si sentí que había mucho fan service pero creo que para el final Collins supo como unirlo todo.

I was very excited for this book but it didn't have as good a flow as the original trilogy.  I think I may have liked it better if I'd read it as a book instead of listening to it, but I'm still waiting on my copy from the library to find out. Maybe time for a full reread

Enganchadísima me ha tenido, y me ha hecho llorar a mares. Cada vez que vuelvo a la saga de Los juegos del hambre, me gusta más.
