My expectations stayed pretty low through the beginning of the book. It took a minute for me to vibe with the writing style and to get a hold on Haymitch's narrative voice. But by the third act things really came together in an incredible and tragic way. Even though we know how Haymitch's story ends, the journey there is intense and Collins is a master at connecting everything through world building. It's been a while since I've cried so much at a book (and I'm honestly not sure I cried as much when I first read the original series).
This reads much more similarly to the original series than Songbirds and Snakes does, which I appreciated. Collins has a lot of really interesting things to say about propaganda and narrative. If you like the original series, it would be pretty hard not to like this book.
