Suzanne Collins remains my favorite author, a genius, and a visionary. I adore her work and how it makes me feel every time. Haymitch’s story is soul crushing. We knew what the ending was, and yet the journey there was surprising and gut wrenching. I couldn’t put this story down.

Heads up, but "decapitation" wasnt a tag I could pick, but it's in there. Good luck.

Elonkorjuun sarastus on upea esiosa Nälkäpeli-trilogialle. Se on vetävästi kirjoitettu ja jännittävä. Tunteet on punottu taitavasti tarinaan ja koko ajan tapahtuu. Tyylilleen uskollisesti Collins käyttää minä-kertojaa, jonka avulla lukijalle avautuu aivan uudenlainen kuva Haymitcista. On hienoa saada henkilöihin lisää syvyyttä ja ymmärtää, miten kukakin liittyy toisiinsa.

Kirja on todella koskettava. Nälkäpelit lukeneelle on myös odotettavaa, ettei tarina ole valoisa eikä surusta voida välttyä. Suzanne Collins on ehdottomasti nero!

Probably not my favorite book from The Hunger Games universe but still absolutely devastating, a great read, poignant, and full of deeper meaning and love and rebellion and poetry.
