Though I‘ve read this many times, it always strikes me a new how heartbreaking the after effects of war are. The PTSD, the grief, the destruction, it doesn‘t end when the war is over. Obviously, Haymitch stood out to me more in this one as he fought to protect Katniss from being pushed too far, even though he was struggling with his own demons. Also, Gale‘s selfishness and Snow‘s cruelty are clearer the older I get.
