Devastation is all I can say about this book, it was so immensely sad and dark but had the slimmest moments of hope throughout. Haymitch is now and forever my favorite Hunger Games character, what he went thru is so terrible and makes me wonder how many other Victor's stories are just like his or worse. The way I loathe Snow is insane, he is probably my most hated villain of all time now if he wasn't already. I forgot how good/gut wrenching reading a Hunger Games novel is, the author just makes you care so much about these characters and even if you know how it will end you have hope that it will be different this time. This was a great book, definitely go into it knowing your heart will be ripped out and stomped on though.

Collins has done it again, this was a great addition to the hunger games series. Hilariously heavy handed in foreshadowing haymitch's drinking problem. His life is much more tragic than I'd imagined and makes his fall from a relatively upbeat kid to a jaded cynic that much sadder

The action was compelling and the characters well-crafted and interesting. You really cared about wether they succeeded. Being a prequel, you know how it has to end, but that doesn’t stop you from being emotionally invested.

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.
