I'm still reeling. I gobbled this up in less than 72 hours. I loved Haymitch before but I have so much more appreciation for him now. This book is definitely the darkest out of the 5, but it fits with Haymitch's character so much more. For those who believe the

cameos are just fanservice, that is a massive disservice to Suzanne and her writing. Everything she does is intentional and it made the events in CF so much more poignant and raised the stakes much higher. Definitely will do a reread of the OG trilogy and Ballad so I can pick up more of the nuances that Suzanne left.

Have a box of tissues handy, but definitely worth the wait!
