Crying so much for the end of this book. Gives great perspective on Haymitch from the original trilogy. I didn’t find myself glued to the book quite as much as the originals but still very good. Also super meaningful read given all that’s going on in the world right now, from the AI mention to all of the propaganda and the many governed by the few comments.

I can't put in to words how this books has made me feel. But wrecked is a good way to go. 

Honestly I I read this when I was younger I don't know if the impact of everything that happens would of hot me. 
But being older and able to see and understand the horrors in these books are things that have happened, and what could happen. It makes it more raw and true and scare.

Getting to know haymitch on a much bigger scale have his story I want to dive back to the original serious and find all the parts that connect.
This will stay with me forever and honestly if you get a chance to read it, do it.

This was so devastating. Beyond middle grade. Suzanne stuck the tip of a knife in the reader at the beginning, slowly pushing it in further, until the last several chapters, when she twists it over and over. 
This book does a fantastic job bridging the gap between aBoSaS prequel and the Hunger Games series, showing how we got from point A to point B without over explaining. Miss Collins delivers information so beautifully without spoonfeeding the reader.

Poor haymitch 💔 the entire book my heart was breaking for haymitch. This book was brilliant and so well written, might possibly be the best of the series. This definitely calls for a reread of the whole franchise. 
Some parts of this book made me close the book and sit with it for a minute, this is rare.
Well done Suzanne Collins you’ve outdone yourself

Quin viatge tornar a Panem!
He estat ben enganxada a la lectura, tot i saber com acabaria tot i tractant-se d'un llibre que replica el primer de la saga... Però realment és tot tan sàdic i tràgic, que no ho podia deixar. Ara bé, m'ha faltat un punt de trencament emocional, sobretot al final, que no m'ha arribat. Els personatges, inoblidables: em declaro des de ja fan de la Maysilee i, evidentment, en Haymitch es confirma que és el millor.

As a Hunger Games lover I was excited for Haymitch's prequel, especially after the brilliance of A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. It didn't quite live up to my expectations...
 
While it introduced another facet of the Capitol's brutality and gave us the backstory for several of the excellent side characters from the original series, being back in the Hunger Games arena felt like a retread over old ground.

I also felt like the choice to frame Haymitch's Hunger Games as being a not-quite-right time for revolution makes the progression of the original trilogy more confusing. What was so different about Katniss from her predecessors that she became a lightning rod for change? If anything, she seems less attuned to the power of spectacle and symbolism than Haymitch does in this book.
 
I think my tolerance for the brutal deaths of children may be waning, but if Suzanne Collins decides to explore another aspect of Panem, I would love to read it.

i knew this book was gonna hurt me and yet i still wasn’t ready

suzanne collins the writer that you are 😫

a book that shows rebellions don’t just start with one person and sometimes it takes years for those results. i could go on and on about my thoughts but i fear them being unintelligible screaming right now because i love this series so much ahh
