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

I was warned about crying while reading this book but truly I could not stop crying past the halfway point. I love this book. Suzanne did an amazing job connecting all of the other books to this one. I’m an absolute emotional wreck!
