You know the saying... Suzanne Collins writes when she has something to say. And boy does she. This book was fantastic. I don't know how Suzanne Collins writes a story we know the ending to in such a way that has you hooked from the first sentence. She masterfully worked with propaganda in this book. I'll reread it soon, after I wipe the tears from my eyes.

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.

Beautiful emphasis of why Haymitch is Haymitch, laid out in a typical Hunger Games fashion book. Lots of suspense to build up the short chapters of the actual hunger games and all their horrors packed into a quick Timelapse. The ending was uplifting which was nice after wanting to cry.

This is a Hunger Games prequel. Violence is pervasive and graphic (but not sexual violence), and many of the victims and perpetrators are children. Fascism, governmental oppression and discrimination are ubiquitous, as are bigotry and classism. Despite all that, there’s nothing that makes it in any way inappropriate for a YA reader.
