Just as impactful and devastating as it’s predecessors. A perfect addition to bring the series full circle.

I grew up reading the original trilogy. Years later, when we need her the most Suzanne delivers her best book yet. Truly beautiful yet gun wrenching must read!

Seeing old faces in their early years was a treat only to be spoiled by the many tragic moments that awaited Haymitch. It’s a roller coaster ride of emotions as we follow Haymitch from beginning to end.

The 50th hunger games always interested me ever since they talked about it in catching fire. This not only gives more of a look at the arena, but you find out way more about Haymitch and why he is the way he is. It had a beautiful story telling of his thoughts and how he feels, along with plenty of surprises that didn’t step on the story that was already told.

I’ve read all the books and loved them, but this one is PERFECT. i was gut wrenched 17 ways sideways the whole time. feeling changed forever

I love this series and have read all the books. I was a little skeptical at first, but it just kept getting better and better! The twists, the reveals to questions we’ve needed answers to (not even just about Haymitch!) and so much more! I ended up staying up to almost midnight for a week because of how good it was! To be honest, I didn’t finish the book with a dry eye. I started almost sobbing at last midnight- unable to put the book down. If you love the series, read it. If you love the movies, read it. If you’ve never heard of it, READ IT!!

suzanne im so sorry for liking all those snow edits js never make smth this sad again 😭

I just wanna say that this book was amazing (still love first one better), but this hit me hard SPOILERS AHEAD PROCEED WITH CAUTION Poor Louella, she reminds me of Prim and Rue, too young, the ending had me in tears. Next up, Finnicks book. PLEASE!! 🙏 - Redfall of WindClan Ash of the Skywings Ivy of Dauntless Willow of district 6

I get that she was trying to make some points about propaganda but I honestly thought Haymitch was too likeable—not really concerned with self preservation. She made him a full-on idealist. I liked the idea of someone actually self-centered to some extent winning the games and it felt like she was softening that. Maybe it was for contrast with his character later on, but I thought he lacked some of the sharp wit that made him so compelling in the original trilogy.

Sobbed straight snot for 2 hours. Would read again.
