Spoilers: I’m keeping it short, so I won’t give any spoilers because you all deserve to experience this all by yourselves!
WOMAN DOWN! WOMAN DOWN! We got a pimp in distress! My heart ACHES! Now that’s what I’m talking about, Suzanne Collins! Bring me back to the heart break and insane after book depression that was brought on as well after The Hunger Games series. Sunrise On the Reaping was all I wanted and more! I craved this writing with A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and was sorely disappointed, but Collins has made her comeback!
We follow Haymitch Abernathy at age 16, during his turn in the 50th Hunger Games and my emotions were not ready. When I talk about feeling like I want to know these characters and feel for them like in real life, this is what I’m talking ABOUT! Every single character was written so WELL! My heart actually broke for them which is hard for me these days because of how much I read and am introduced to SO MANY different characters. Remembering characters is usually a bust but the tributes of the 2nd Quarter Quell will not easily be forgotten.
That’s all you get from me because if you are reading this and are also a fan of The Hunger games series, you need to go into this not knowing too much and just off what you know about Haymitch from the original series. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you for reading and following! I would say happy reading but at this point, you better guard your heart with this one…
