I really like the Hunger Games series, although I could finish Songbirds & Snakes. This book was less gory which I liked. I usually enjoy world-building, but I felt that this one was repetitive and used the same language frequently. I enjoyed learning more about Haymitch and highly recommend the epilogue bc it ties it into the Katniss/Peeta story.  I thought they foreshadowed things like the water tank that didn’t even end up to be a big deal, but I understand it was all snowballing as rebellion so there could be a huge retaliation. It was sad, but I saw it coming.
