"I love you like all-fire."
The 5th book release of the Hunger Game series is the second book out of five if reading them in chronological order.
If you read the hunger game trio you know what to expect and know exactly how Hamich's games end but there are a few new things in this one that the others don't have:
⚠️Spoilers ahead⚠️
What I found that was new was different kinds of mutts then the original series, how he was forced to join (not pulled from the bowl by name), and body snatching/hijacking for a tribute that was killed before the games began.
Pretty much the rest was what you would know from the other books, arena , survival, death, murder, torture, political regimes and so on.
I wasn't fond of the Raven/nevermore huge chunks of text being thrown in towards the end. And felt like the dove aspect was shoved down our throats a lot as well.
I will give the book its dues. I did tear up when the events happened after Hamich was brought back home. I knew they were coming but damn...
I gave it 3 stars as it is a bit clunkier writing then the actual trio of original books and felt a bit more like big pieces could have been removed for a shorter story. However, she got me on nostalgia with the return of several characters we already know and love.
TW: Political terrorism, alcohol, guns, torture, families ripped apart, murder, hanging, hetero-normatives, gay insert for "flavor", drugs, body dismemberment, beheading, being eat alive, explosions, gore, medical abuse, and so on.
