MISS COLLINS HOW COULD YOU RIP MY HEART OUT AND STOMP ON IT SO. HOW DARE.

This book really gripped me by the heartstrings and refused to let go. I could not. Put. It. Down. I loved Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. This one twisted the knife even deeper and made me a hundred times sadder. It left me feeling bittersweet.. you know the whole time how it'll end but you still wish that it'll be different somehow.

Haymitch is one of my favourite characters in the hunger games universe, so I was super excited when I heard the book was going to be about him, but also slightly worried it wasn’t going to live up to my expectations. But oh man. This book really does him justice. I don’t know what I expected really, but this is everything I could have ever hoped for. It is both satisfying and heartbreaking. This book is more reminiscent of the original trilogy than a ballad of songbirds and snakes was, in my opinion, and for that reason, I also like it way more. Suzanne Collins really hit the nail on the head with this one. This just adds more depth and more heartbreaking backstory to so many of the characters we know and love. I love the hunger games, I love Haymitch and I love this book. Will take me a while to get over this.

More violent, disturbing, harrowing, and disheartening than the rest of the Hunger Games series- which is saying a ✨LOT✨

This book destroyed me. Tore me apart on a cellular level and then rebuilt me as a different person.

As always, Suzanne Collins continues to be one of my favourite authors. I feared as I got older, her books would no longer hold immense power, but I stand so great fully wrong. Everytime I pick up a book in this series I am reminded about the importance of the long game, the power of community, and the humanity in fear. I love her work, her message, and am so grateful she continues to add to the depth of this series.
