I loved this book so much, but I’m pretty sure it almost tore me to pieces, especially in relation to the other books in this series

A prequel to The Hunger Games. Read this after A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

Beautiful. It's a retcon dream, fitting well with the previous books and reconciling with the characters we already know.  There's so many little Easter eggs I'm sure there will be more on re- read.  It also makes me want to re- read the other books to experience them in light of this new content.  It's such a a touching story in itself and Collins has still got that sad, heart wrenching magic.

Cannot put into words how heart-wrenching Haymitch's story is.

A difficult read. I ended up reading the audio, but may have benefited from reading the physical book. The story was hard to get through because of how heavy the content was. But definitely up there as a favorite of the series. Just took me a while because of the difficult material.
