Incredibly well written and captivating. Very interesting to get a look into an earlier version of District 12 and the games, and the themes of propaganda and rebellion were incredibly well done. Don't be fooled into thinking the book won't be sad just because we know how Haymitch's game ends- the book does an incredible job of exploring the other characters and having them grow on you the same way they grow on Haymitch. I cried several times while reading.
