more than anything i feel like this book crystallised what was most potent ab collins' work to me and the questions she decided to put to her readers the whole series long are really on display here in the most devastating ways. i'm so thankful this book exists. ahhhh

i'm actually on the precipice of being on board with the idea of the glorious revolution being as ugly as the people who'd pushed it forward being are bc i think i finally understand what collins was trying to do but on an emotional level i will still never be ok with that choice fjjfjfjf

and not to get back into my decade old bone to pick w mockingjay atp lol but it humbles. to see how long the districts have suffered and how hard and bravely they've risen to fight but the answer they were given was someone like coin. like. there's smth cutting ab that and maybe for the first time

soft spoilers now but it just as any prequel does really puts it into perspective just how monumental of a win katniss' was - in SO many ways she was just like haymitch, but luckier - and how much of a difference that made. and even helped me understand why the rebellion surged so fiercely w her

not to mention how devastating but we knew that but we didn't really. the parallels between him and katniss - and even a little of lucy gray my god my d12 victors are sooo 😭😭 - are just so

finished it 10/10 this feels like the book i'd been waiting for from her and from this series

it's so good you guys i literally feel like im 14, 15, 16 again revisiting the world in all its ugly messed up glory collins has things to SAY in this book and i love her for it ugh

sending emails to parents today while crying over haymitch lol at least i'm alone in the office today 🥹✌️

nowww she wants to go after him when shes never even left her prefecture before when she couldve just told him when they were still tgt ... im not even mad im disappointed

theyre BOTH stupid ok they deserve each other fkfnfkffn why is this happening hhhhh

oh. my god. i have had IT!!!! notdfnfkjfnfjfkd !!!!!! its over actually

mind u if this was a manga like something's wrong with us i'd eat it up & thank the mangaka for the food but the need to sprinkle in a dash of makjang for flavor for end plots will never not amuse me
