One of the better books in the hunger games saga, the better prequel. It made appreciate the storyline of all characters in the universe more. It took a long time for Haymitch’s redemption and he certainly didn’t get it in this book - which makes it all the worthwhile.

Just as compelling and heartbreaking as the first four Hunger Games books. Couldn’t put it down.
