If you've ever read Catching Fire you have a hint at what Haymitch goes through, but nothing prepared me for the hidden complexities.
This book does a wonderful job illustrating how truths are twisted and buried. There are so many lessons and warnings in here that are important.
I can't say this book is enjoyable. It is heartbreak and depression cover to cover. But like all the Hunger Games books it rings with truth and importance and reading it felt necessary.
Suzanne Collins writes a masterful and convincing world, even when that world is an utter nightmare. And the ending left me to think about how I would handle being in Haymitch's shoes.
Ps. the Easter eggs from the original trilogy were amazing and I'll never read those books in quite the same way again.

I think many of the references to other characters or storylines came off less like complex world building and more like fan service.
Minus 16 stars for all the damn songs. I cannot be making up all these little tunes in my head, Suzanne!
Would I read a new book for every single Hungry Game? Yes. Do I see how ironic that is based on the critique of the capital in the books? Also yes.
