Suzanne Collins is able to establish so much about characters and their relationships in so little sentences in the original Hunger Games, and then just doesn't do that here.

One of the saddest books I have ever read, but I couldn’t put it down. Haymitch goes through so much- it’s almost impossible to fathom, but Suzanne Collins makes it possible with her writing and world building. I haven’t read a hunger games book in 12 years, but it felt like the emotional equivalent of riding a bike. I fell right back into the world of Panem and it felt visceral. Not only is the book impactful, fast paced, and well-written, it is an important book for our current time. It is the warning out world needs for preventing tyranny from running amuck. Everyone should read this book and weep for a world that feels closer to our own every day. I sure did.

A worthy prequel. Even knowing how it must end doesn't stop it being unputdownable.
