It's dark romance. There are a lot of heavy themes. If you've read any of H.D. Carlton's novels, they do dark romance well.

It has been so long since I've read anything related to The Hunger Games. I haven't read BSS yet so I went into this without that knowledge. I really enjoyed this book for the most part. I think there were some spots that dragged on and felt a little flat. I did enjoy learning about Haymitch's story and how he came to be the man he was in The Hunger Games series.
I got half way through and I was bored :( I wanted to finish but it kept putting me asleep every night.

Listen, this book is dark. It's high fantasy that deals with some serious topics. This was a re-read for me and it is still my favourite series ever. The series continues and it gets so intense. If you are looking for a light fantasy read, steer clear. If you are comfortable with dark and uncomfortable themes then I say read away!

This one took me awhile. It wasn't my favourite but I did enjoy it. The banter and the chaos keep me entertained and also thinking. I think Carl is decidedly underappreciated by the folks in the book because he appears to just be an explosive/crazy idea guy. He wants to help everyone he can, but he can't always do that.
ALSO... SPOILER..
HEKLA IS DEAD AND I LAUGHED SO HARD BECAUSE KATIA DID IT. She clearly meant to take out the other one (I can't remember her name) but that was WILD and I loved it. I KNEW Hekla was a terrible person. Leaving all those women with very little in the way of knowledge or experience.
