It was a beautiful read. Enthralling and utterly devastating at times. I found some of the cameos a bit overly done, but the depth of character from the new names and faces were absolutely beautiful. My love and respect for Haymitch Abernathy started in the first book, trippled in the subsequent trilogy releases and has more than magnified in this prequel. I also have a new love in Miss Maysilee Donner, who made me smile as much as she made me cry in the end. Spectacular work, Ms Collins.
