Obsessed but I feel like thats not fair because I've always loved haymitch. This novel is so well spliced that their really aren't many plot irregularities. The characters are amazing and deep and it hurts to lose them even though you know it's inevitable.  The narrative voice is excellent feeling similar to Katniss, which is reasonable as their are similar people in canon, but also very distinct. Even from a random clip it is clear who is speaking. I do caution to not give into the hype about 'how 😭 😭 😭 ' the book is as while painful one walks in knowing that all of these people are dead and if it's not stated in previous books completely then the flags are large enough to see from space. The only thing truly holding this book back is that I want more, more to flesh out everything. I'd also preferred

if dove's death was something else because Haymitch's move with the candies was just stupid

Warning: I wouldn't recommend reading unless you have read the rest of the series. Also this book is dark even more so than the main trilogy

Outstanding origin story that explains as to how Haymitch became the jaded character we know from the original trilogy. 
It is medium-paced at first, then becomes more fast-paced towards the middle of the book. I needed several days to emotionally recover from this book.

P.s. you get to briefly meet some more characters you already know from the original trilogy

Outstanding epilogue set post-Second Rebellion.

Very disturbing description of the decapitation of a character. One character is described as holding the head of a character they decapitated, with zero remorse.

Very depressing, detailed description of the forced isolation of Haymitch post-games
