"Sometimes you start reading a book and think if this idiot (read well intentioned brother in Christ) can write a book I definitely can. This is one of those times. It’s like Yeahhhh the things he’s saying are true somewhat but lacking nuance. Anyway, still got 100 pages left for him to change my mind that this was worth my time." — Oct 23, 2026 08:48PM

Suzanne Collins does. not. miss!!! This book was everything to me. I was skeptical about the value of a book about Snow’s origin and I was proved wrong. I feel like this book perfectly drives home the ideas and themes put forth in the original trilog

“I had always thought of joy as a shouting, flamboyant thing, that tossed breath into the sky like a ball. Instead it robbed me of my speech and my air. I was pinned in place by joy and I didn't know what to do.
"Come here," he said, and pulled me into his arms.
I pressed my face against his neck. My body sparked, and I couldn't move, except to lean into him. I was filled with happiness, so enormous and terrifying it was as if I'd committed a crime to get it. No one had given me permission to feel this way, and I thought I might not be allowed it. He combed his fingers though my hair and I was frightened with happiness, harrowed by it. There was no way that anyone could feel this much without also knowing they were going to lose it.”

“Forgiveness, which takes you back to the person you were and lets you reset them. Hope, which exists in a future in which you are new. Forgiveness and hope are miracles. They let you change your life. They are time-travel.”

“All this unfolded in what I now know to call our last weeks. Within the action of this story, these memories mean little. After the first time Graham and I went to bed together, they are symbolically all of a piece. I could have written to you without including them; after all, the things that happen between lovers are lost to the work of history anyway. But I wrote it down because I need you to bear witness to it. He was here, by and with and in my body. He lives in me like trauma does. If you ever fall in love, you’ll be a person who was in love for the rest of your life.”
