I really enjoyed reading this, I enjoyed the insight into Hamish’s games and the emphasis on propaganda and how his experiences shaped the character we knew in the original trilogy. 

I thought it was really interesting how the little bit we knew of his games from the original series

was a  heavily edited version created by the capital to be taken out of its original context, essentially rewriting history.

  Very interesting masterful writing. 

 I don’t think I could ever recommend this as an actual literal prequel though, it definitely needs to be read in the order it was written. But phenomenal writing, highly recommend!

Oh my god. I felt like I was 12 and reading the hunger games for the first time again. I knew what was gonna happen but I didn't know it was gonna happen like that!!!!. It was a slow start but towards the end it hit you with the sucker punch of emotions that completely shattered he especially with the epilogue and how haymich talked about katniss. Was broke my heart completely at wellie's death. Fuck it hurt man

This book made me cry

Honestly nostalgia aside this book hits hard if you let it. It forces you to see the charecters as complex, broken, and flawed. You truly get to see how special the OG trilogy was to get the results it did. 
It also hits hard in the context of everything going on and honestly makes me feel guilty of how little I'm doing.
