I adore the way that Haymitch describes Lenore Dove with colors. Collins has done it again, and she keeps the narrative compelling even as we know the ending.

This book mentions a lot of fucked up shit—Panem is not a nice place to live—but Collins handles it all with grace. It is, after all, supposed to be a young adult novel.

God, fine, okay, Suzanne Collins did it again. I do think unfortunately the setting and concept is so good for a YA novel that she could write every single Hunger Games from #1 to Katniss' and they would all be fun. It pulls you through exactly the same way the first Hunger Games novel did. Unfortunately the ending is pre-determined and so fucking sad, so you get to the end feeling like you expect a semi-triumphant ending somewhat like the Hunger Games and it's actually just sad. So that's probably the biggest downer. However it is kind of unavoidable in the premise of the book so. You win some, you lose some, at least Suzanne Collins isn't funding a transphobic empire with her ill-gotten gains.

Absolutely heartbreaking and devastating. Poor Haymitch deserved so much better.
