Oh my god. I felt like I was 12 and reading the hunger games for the first time again. I knew what was gonna happen but I didn't know it was gonna happen like that!!!!. It was a slow start but towards the end it hit you with the sucker punch of emotions that completely shattered he especially with the epilogue and how haymich talked about katniss. Was broke my heart completely at wellie's death. Fuck it hurt man

“Happy Birthday, Haymitch!”

My heart has been shattered and I don’t know if I’ll ever recover from this book.

This is probably the best Hunger Games book to date. Discovering Haymitch's games from his point of view offer the reader an opportunity to reconsider events of the original trilogy in a new light.

 As always, Collins chose to write a new installment in this series for a specific reason. Therefore, this prequel does not feel like the author is milking her successful series but like an important addition to a previously existing story. Few authors would have the ability to discuss subjects as complex as implicit submission and propaganda in a dystopian YA novel as easily as Collins.

However, it seems important to mention how exponentially more violent Sunrise on the Reaping is in comparison to previous installments in the series. You thought the death scenes in the original trilogy were bad? Just you wait... This book destroyed me in the best way possible.

Although not being an inherently completely inappropriate read for a teenager (though I would argue that it is a book for children aged at least 13 and up), the nature of the themes and contents of this novel might mean that this book won't be fully understood by younger readers.

Like Mockingjay and Ballad, while the book can be perfectly enjoyable for younger readers, parts of this story might resonate more with an older audience. 

In all cases, this book is a fantastic read and a great extension to this universe, but should be read with caution and after a quick read of potential trigger warnings. Protect your peace and read it only if you are in the right mindset for it!

I couldn't decide if the whole concept of the Hunger Games would fall under child and physical abuse. Also, all sexual violence is implied and/or briefly mentioned and never confirmed. "Animal death" relates to arena scenes, most of of them being Capitol's mutts. As far as I recall, no pets or beloved animals were harmed in this book (I don't even think that Haymitch hunts).

what the helllllll !!! once again suzanne does the impossible and manages to surprise us all with a story we already know the ending of. it can’t be an easy task to be an author with a universally loved trilogy and then a over decade later try to add on to it—but suzanne fucking nails it like it’s easy as walking. this so easily could have turned into fan service (given how bad we all wanted to read haymitch’s games) with all the cameos of characters from both ballad of songbirds and snakes and the hunger games trilogy. but it doesn’t !!! everyone who is there should be there, they have purpose and reason. it’s disgusting, gory, emotionally terrorizing. it’s just a good ass book, man
