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.

SOBBED


Thanks, I hate it. I sobbed. Snow is a dick and he just made it to the top of my hate list for book villains. It is now as follows
1. Snow
2. Umbridge
3. Arobynn
4. Voldemort

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

Wow.  This is such a heartbreaking story.  Haymitch’s backstory definitely explain his behavior in the Hunger Game.  

The epilogue helped me manage all the pain of this book.

Suzanne Collins is still at the top of her game and this was well-written. As someone who loved the original Hunger Games trilogy, I'm honestly not sure if this book added anything new. More misery porn, a fair bit of heartbreak, and another thrilling game but neither the events nor the themes are a huge departure from the original trilogy.
