This was as heartbreaking as I was expecting it to be. It was honestly a tough read, and it made me ache all the more for everyone experiencing the horrors of the world right now. It made me ache, but it also enraged me, because the Capitol doesn’t feel like such a far-flung fiction these days.

It’s hard to recapture the magic of the original. But this certainly adds nuance and is engaging the way through. There are a number surprises, and clever tie-ins to the original series.

It was impressive how Collins twisted elements around, like the reaping. And that Haymitch was in on the rebel cause since the jump. text

dark sad tense

God that was so brutal. Probably the saddest of all the books. Really had the same tone and energy of the first two books.

And I thought the first four Hunger Games books were devestating. They absolutely have nothing on this. I fear for the movie, as I doubt it can truly capture the horror and heartbreak Haymitch endures. There is no teenage love story in this arena, just a boy trying to survive as literal children are slaughtered. That is a fact the earlier books and movies let slide a little, with the older protagonists who keep to themselves. But Haymitch's attachment to the younger competetors refuses to let you look away or romanticize the slaughter.
