This is a fantastic book! A great way of telling Haymitch’s story.
The games were written in amazing detail & I loved the other tributes from district 12. It really demonstrates the helplessness that you feel as one person against a broken system with setback after setback. It’s so easy to settle into feeling isolated and for the challenge to feel impossible. But Plutarch reminds us of perseverance, and Haymitch demonstrates his real strength and resilience when Katniss comes on the scene.
Maysilee first owning the pin, Burdock (Katniss’ dad) being an old friend, effie’s first stint, Mags and Wiress, Beetee too… it’s great to see how these characters have been working and struggling for years and for it to finally come to a head almost a quarter of a century later is eye opening. These things can take time. But we’re all in this together!
There was a little disconnect for me occasionally with big moments and sequences - not sure I could visualise those until after the fact. I enjoy reading really detailed passages, and Suzanne’s writing style is much more to the point, which is great for what this book needs, but just not my preference.
For example, with the interviews it was all a bit sudden and I couldn’t feel things bubbling as much as previously. Who knows.
I understand the connection between him and Lucy gray and Katniss - it’s interesting. But, mildly convenient for plot purposes? Who knows, but it’s nice to see old friends in those ways.
