Best. One. Yet. I am really glad I reread Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes right before because it was helpful to have the Covey fresh in my mind, but so many characters I love are here. I found it really helpful in putting the chronology between BSS and the original trilogy together, too, as that sixty years was a tricky gap for me in figuring out who would be in what stage of adulthood when.

So good. I’m wrecked.
