This book just didn’t do it for me, I was so bored and Colt was a bit too grumpy for my liking (which says something because I like my mmcs grumpy)
This easily could’ve been a 4,5 star book because it had me so hooked and the plot was sooo intriguing! This was so twisted, the plot was so unique, Nell and Bradshaw‘s dynamic was so interesting and I just loved reading it (up until like 85% I think). But I thought the ending/ plot twist near the end was bullshit. I didn’t think it was necessary for the plot and I think if that was handled differently I really would have loved this book. Sadly this made me enjoy the book a lot less
The whole story line with Jenkins at the end was so fucking weird?? Nell telling him she loves him??? That was so weird. I’m gonna be honest if I was Bradshaw and I just lost my brother to save her only for her to tell someone else she loves him I’d leave her so fast 💀 idk that whole thing gave me the ick and kind of made me want to only give this 2 stars… but I enjoyed the rest of the book too much for that
I am very very torn on this one. I did enjoy reading it and I was very invested but I think my expectations were too high. I would still recommend it to others who desperately waited to see Haymitch‘s story. But I would also tell them to tone down their expectations.
On the one hand this book felt so incredibly lazy. I expected so much more from the plot and from Haymitch‘s story in general. I expected something unique and this book was definitely not that. Almost every single character that was introduced was someone we either know from the prequel or the original trilogy, and while I love a good character cameo and Easter eggs as much as the next person, this was just way too much. Some characters also didn’t feel coherent to their character in the original trilogy in my opinion. I was very very disappointed up until around 50%
On the other hand, the second half did tug on my heartstrings quite a bit and I was emotional in some parts. The story finally picked up and with the arena setting being different and the tributes not being characters we know from the other books, the plot finally started feeling unique and made me very emotional. The ending was obviously predictable because we know what’s coming, but it was still so heartbreaking and I did shed quite a few tears. That epilogue just about killed me but the last 10% were about the only part that were what I wanted this book to be and sadly that didn’t make up for the first half that just felt so lazy and unoriginal
This book did not give me what I wanted it to give and I’m just very disappointed by that. I really wished I loved this as much as other people seem to.
Okay NO… that ending was just cruel 🥲
I love Diem but my god that girl can be so dumb 😭
This book could’ve been a couple hundred pages shorter but then again I ate up every single sentence so I’m not gonna complain
Some of these reveals or plot twists were just sooooo obvious like common turn on that brain of yours for a second
