Suzanne you have done it again.
Drawing me into a dark book that I know is going to make me cry that still surprised me. It puts other books foreshadowing to shame cause I never see the next chapter coming.

Also the variety of strong woman you put into a book, Wiress, Mags, Lenore, Louella, Lou Lou, Maybeline, while the main POV being from a man is indescribable!

I think I’d be content if this was the end of Hunger Games novels but wouldn’t be upset with anymore.

To keep it as simple as possible, the next time Suzanne Collins wants to write a book, I would prefer her to straight punch me in the stomach as many times as she needs to instead.

Collins really doesn't hold back with her messages in this book, and i love it! so many current political discussions get touched upon without it being forcedy i especially liked the 'lessons' on how manipulation works and the focus on relationships and community and helping each other.
Haymitch is very similar to Katniss, seam kids with a single mom and younger sibling working in the woods, using their cleverness and getting roped into the revolution. it really makes the original trilogy more tragic for Haymitch. generally, seeing all the characters from earlier books as their younger selves and realising what they all went through and how long they have been fighting, really recontextualises the original story and makes it heavier and sadder but also more vindictive.
and the new characters are also really great. i love Maysilee, she is girly and bitchy and mean, and also a great ally and brave and has strong opinions and stands up for them; very well-written, and the same goes for the other tributes.

Each Hunger Games book seems to surpass the one before it, even over a decade later. These prequels hold absolutely nothing back, with absolutely horrifying deaths and gut wrenching ends to storylines - literally no one is safe and that’s evident in Haymitch’s story probably more than anyone else’s that we’ve seen so far. As always, absolutely incredible and dystopian fiction done only the way Collins can.
