what the helllllll !!! once again suzanne does the impossible and manages to surprise us all with a story we already know the ending of. it can’t be an easy task to be an author with a universally loved trilogy and then a over decade later try to add on to it—but suzanne fucking nails it like it’s easy as walking. this so easily could have turned into fan service (given how bad we all wanted to read haymitch’s games) with all the cameos of characters from both ballad of songbirds and snakes and the hunger games trilogy. but it doesn’t !!! everyone who is there should be there, they have purpose and reason. it’s disgusting, gory, emotionally terrorizing. it’s just a good ass book, man
