This book made me dive into a rabbit hole of Hunger Games lore. It’s also means so much that it was released in today’s America…

It was fun tracing connections between the different novels and is worth reading to the very last page.

I enjoyed this enough! I haven’t consumed any Hunger Games media in like 12ish years (only even saw one of the movies!) so the fact that the formula is similar to the first book didn’t matter as much to me. The ending felt so insanely rushed but I guess that was the point? This seemed like kind of a missed opportunity but oh well I still liked it enough to read it pretty fast. If you liked Hunger Games 13 years ago and remember liking Haymitch, yeah give this a shot.

Questo libro mi ha emotivamente devastata. La storia di Haymitch è struggente, sia per quello che deve sopportare sia per come l'autrice ha deciso di raccontarcela. Ci sono rimandi a com'è diventato il personaggio nella trilogia principale, sottolineando quanto fosse diverso prima del trauma; ma anche numerosi riferimenti ad altri personaggi che già conosciamo dalla trilogia, che in questo libro sono approfonditi, vengono spiegati comportamenti e abitudini. Il tema della propaganda è centrale, si presta a diversi livelli di lettura, da quelli più espliciti a quelli più sottili.
Per me questo prequel è stato all'altezza delle aspettative, mi ha coinvolta ed emozionata come non succedeva da tanto con un libro.
