I did not like this one as much as the original trilogy; however, I enjoyed it a lot more than the last book with Snow's backstory. Did it really change the Hunger Games for me? No, but it did add some background and context that I didn't hate.

Ay diosito santo, Casí en "Amanecer en la cosecha" y siento que renací y morí a la vez, los personajes están tan bien construidos que mientras más leia más me preocupaba por encariñarme.
Lenore Dove, CTM I LOVE REVOLUTIONARY GIRLS.
Los paralelismos entre personajes que ya conocimos y personajes nuevos juegan con mi mente a cada momento, y termino sufriendo más de la cuenta.
Louella y Lou-Lou, jugaron con mi mente de horrible manera, tanto que cada vez que leia sobre ellas la incomodidad me carcomia.
Maysilee, My baby, hubieras amado a Johanna, tu fuego no pudo ser apagado. Te amé tanto que mi corazón no podia soportar tu final.
Haymitch, me duele. El solo pensar en como empezó todo y como terminó volviendose el alcoholico que conocemos en "los juegos del hambre" es realmente frustrante y doloroso.

Y POR ULTIMO, SNOW HIJO DE TU PUTISIMA MADRE. NADA, NADA, NADA HARÁ QUE TE QUIERA. ESTAS TRAUMATIZADO CON LUCY GRAY BIRD. BUSCA TERAPIA HIJO DE LA CHINGADA.

BTW the musica, ampert, mags, wiress.

ALV necesito una larga terapia, Suzanne Collins te enviaré el comprobante de mi psicologa.

This was definitely a book for the fans. There were a tonne of Easter eggs, I doubt I caught most of them considering how long ago I read Hunger Games, but they were a delight everytime I spotted one. I loved revisiting this series and I think I'm going to re-read the trilogy now, I'm curious to how differently I'll read it with this additional context.

Did it add much to canon? Not really. It adds context, it adds a little more background information but it doesn't change the overall story in a meaningful way. But for the fans, that extra context and depth to the story is fantastic.
