amazing. absolutely traumatizing. the pacing of the games section is rather quick (understandably, i know collins doesn’t love to spend time detailing gorey deaths), but otherwise a fantastic read. anyone wanting to read this book, put it down after “happy birthday, haymitch!”

I've heard it said that Suzanne Collins doesn't write unless she has something to say, and I agree. Dystopia as a genre exists to criticize society, and while this story fabulously compliments her existing works in this universe, it uniquely targets many of the issues we have today.

A must-read for Hunger Games fans. Collins strikes again, weaving small purposeful details into a greater picture. Collins' writing style is consistent. Nothing overly floral, no cutting corners. Everything is intentional. Collins successfully uses her creative writing skills to create whole scenes and whole feelings. I have been a Haymitch fan since first reading the original three books in middle school and this does not disappoint. Like "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," everything makes so much sense by the end. ALL of the pieces connected for me.
This whole series will become a useful tool in teaching history and social studies in general, sure. But this part of a greater whole-- the rest of the series-- really asks what "progress" and "success" look like in a movement. There is probably so much I could add, especially from a marginalized person and Historian's perspective, but I wanted to throw my review out into the world while it is fresh in my brain!
