Wow. So much to digest in this section. I am so shook. And heartbroken.

Maysilee, girl…there are simply no words.😭 I already miss you.

Quite a few quotes stuck with me, as I process the past few chapters. Putting it in the comments to reference later.

Oof. So much has happened. My gosh. My heart hurts - especially for Haymitch, Wyatt, Maysilee, Lou Lou, Ampert, and Betee.

One of my favorite quotes in this section has been Plutarch saying to Haymitch, “You should know that, despite appearances, a desire for freedom is not limited to the districts.”

President Snow is the absolute WORST. And Suzanne wasted no time reminding us of that in SOTR. To quote Maysilee, “a special kind of vicious.”

Love seeing more of the Plutarch WE KNOW from the OG trilogy. Loved the “I think he believes you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar” remark about Plutarch from Haymitch. Plutarch deserves a best acting Oscar for his ability to play a double agent. #IYKYK

“I like to think it was mutually beneficial,” says Plutarch. “And the audience is none the wiser. I saw to that.” - Plutarch on manipulating footage of the reaping.

YOOOOOO. Suzanne is NOT holding back. She is out here emphasizing just how foolish and easily manipulated humans can be. 👀

I have so many thoughts on Plutarch right now. I’m trying to understand how he becomes who we see in the OG trilogy.

“The moment our hearts shattered? It belongs to us.” - HAYMITCH “They will not use our tears for their entertainment” ABERNATHY 😭

Not me already crying and having to put the book down after just Chapter 2…😭
