pickI knew I would have to be in the right headspace to read this story and man I wasn‘t wrong. It‘s gut wrenching. Once again we are not to look away from the horrors of the capital. To the horrors inflicted upon the people of the districts. Collins once again does not disappoint with this story in the saga 💜📚
pickI had a fun time reading this. It was interesting and I finished it in one day. Yes it seemed a little more wooden than Katniss‘ story. I couldn‘t get behind Lenore as a character. And I really hated all the songs they kept quoting. They would quote the same song over and over. That seemed very unnecessary. But even with all that, I enjoyed the book and found it entertaining.
pickBefore I read this & the previous one (TBOSAS), I wasn't sure we needed additional books about Snow & Haymitch. Have to say, I was completely wrong as yes, yes we did. Snow's villain origin story was interesting enough but this one about Haymitch Abernathy was just about perfect. It was also good to see Plutarch, Mags, Wiress, & Effie Trinket in their earlier roles.

Something to look forward to next year - the next Hunger Games movie.
pickThis was the quickest I finished a book in a long time. Life keeps getting in the way of reading. Time off from work and a short vacation allowed me to get back to it.
I enjoyed Haymitch's back story. It was a fast paced read as most of the hunger games novels have been.
pickGod this book was So Good. I love how Collins always writes with something to say. I laughed, I cried, I watched the tragedy unfold on the edge of my seat even though I knew how it would end.
so-soI'm a little sad. It was odd and yet nice to see some familiar faces and names and while I enjoyed the book overall don't get me wrong, it starts on his birthday no less, to read about him getting reaped and then the ride to the Capitol and you know the general story because it's just like Katniss' in the sense that it's the same formula.
But I'm saddened because a lot more could have been explored and in a different way.
I just started this book and I already love it. As always, Suzanne Collins brings wonderful worlds to life helping the reader understand better the other stories. I love how it‘s all connected to the other books. I think everybody should read this book because it‘s really an adventure.When I finish it. I‘ll write a review so that you know what you‘re going to read.❤️
