Haymitch's story is every bit as intoxicating as reading the Hunger Games for the first time. Urgent, rebellious and fearless, he refuses to go down without a fight. The focus on the undercurrent uniting the districts offers a great reminder of who the real enemy is. I absolutely devoured this book.

Favourite quotes:

"Don't let them paint their posters with your blood."

"Fire is catching, she’d say, but if this one burns down the arena, I say good riddance."

"You were capable of imagining a different future. And maybe it won’t be realized today, maybe not in our lifetime. Maybe it will take generations. We’re all part of a continuum. Does that make it pointless?" 

"With that, she condemns me to life."

Whoever hurt Suzanne Collins, can you please apologize for all our sakes!? Beautifully devastating  story, and I loved the surprises we get from the epilogue. Only complaints were having to hear Lenore Dove’s full name EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. it was mentioned, and I wish there’d been a little less tike pre-games and more time in the games, but it makes sense at the end. You definitely understand Haymitch much more after then and want to hug him and protect him and never let him go after.
