A 10/10, and, in my opinion, the most timely and important Hunger Games novel to date…Suzanne I beg you NO MORE! This one almost took me out.

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!

read this book to start off my vacation & hopefully end a reading slump, and that was a good choice :,) i was hit w nostalgia as i was sucked back into the hunger games universe. esp w everything going on recently, some of the themes from this story hits a little harder, though i understand and agree with some of the criticisms from other reviews.
