Flew through it. Collins got a lot better at making the reader feel something for the characters left behind in the district. Generally, a lot of ends got tied in neatly, but sometimes too much so. (E.g. Haymitch figuring out Lucy Grey's and Snows involvement with each other)

I wish I could un-read this book 🙅🏽‍♀️ I guess my tolerance for child death, gore, and trauma is just lower than the masses. This book made me feel bad. And not in a dystopian “the world could be this evil” kind of way but in a why would anyone write something this upsetting way. 

I was tricked into thinking there could be a single positive ray of light in this story so I read through to the end. Apparently that was too much to ask for. I didn’t want to read about people dying in such graphic, horrifying ways. I know I know- it’s the Hunger Games, what did I think would happen. But the level of violence in this book is far beyond the rest of the series. And for what? To give us all nightmares? Mission accomplished!

Thus book really  did push limits of what we already knew about Haymitch’s games.

The was a lot of “oh tge game makers will never show this!” the cover all parts that didn't quiet fight the picture already laid out out for us

but there were some amazing easter eggs and deeper looks into the characters and older victors.
