3.5 stars. Fast read. Right in line with the original Hunger Games book, but this is Haymitch’s story. I think it would have been a slightly higher rating but felt almost too similar to the original HG. Still a fun, fast read. Pretty twisted stuff…

4.5 stars. Flew through this one. Really fast read with lots of good twists and turns toward the end. It was pretty dark at parts during the beginning. My only real knock is that it felt a bit rushed at the end. After such a long book, I think I want ...more
