I loved this book! I'm only not giving it 5 ⭐ because I think it felt a little too much like the first Hunger Games. I understand how it would have a similar plot structure and beats but it felt so similar with the younger tribute and 2 teaming up. But over all I loved getting to see Haymitch's story and more of Snow pre Hunger Games.
