By Suzanne Collins

The phenomenal fifth book in the Hunger Games series!

When you've been set up to lose everything you love, what is there left to fight for?

As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes.

Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves.

When Haymitch's name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He's torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who's nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town. As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he's been set up to fail. But there's something in him that wants to fight . . . and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena.

This book was phenomenal. If you like the Hunger Games Series, you will heavily enjoy this prequel. While reading, you will find yourself gasping at the parallels and how this story truly connects with every other book in an unexpected way. It is one of the best books I have indulged in.

As a big fan of the hunger games, I was going into the book thinking I had an idea of what I was about to read from previously having read Catching Fire. I was 100% wrong. I felt like there was so many surprises in the story I did not see coming. I was left heartbroken. And truly this book has become one of my favorite reads.

I loved this novel and thought it was an important story to tell in this trilogy. While we all know how the series ends, it’s a story of a teenager with a good heart that had the world (Snow and the capitol) against him. A reminder that even if you don’t attain your goals for 25 years, it doesn’t mean that it won’t occur. Of course Hayworth struggled- to love and loss as he did, is a great feat. I thought it was a story of hope and love.

Review: While I did enjoy it, it was the weakest among the franchise as a whole. The origins of Haymitch was interesting but alas repetitive especially among the Games themselves. Has is accompanied by a companion, gone; rinse and repeat. Also, there being more than one familiar faces from the past distracted me from the storytelling. However the arena itself is still brutal, and I appreciated the nod to Lucy Gray.

Absolutely loved! Finished it in four days! I loved how Collins connected every detail back to the original books. It was a lot of fun to connect all the Easter eggs!
