This book gives a great deal of backstory and makes you look at Haymitch in a different light than we all likely did back when the OG Hungar Games books/movies came out. l'd say it's a great addition to the series and ties the most recent book and the 0G series together nicely.

Since the movie is going to be coming out and I wanted to listen to the audiobook first. It's definitely suspenseful and pretty dark. If you have any triggers surrounding pregnancy this will not be the book for you. It's certainly a mind bender though and you really hate the main antagonist pretty early in the book.

This book is spicy, with witches and political alliances. It started a little slow but picked up about two chapters in and did not stop. Fair warning it's a bit of a cliffhanger ending so I'm anxiously awaiting the next book now. I listened to this one on audible and had to speed it up to 1.2 because of how slowly she spoke for effect.

This book is actually based on a real person, although not everything in the book actually happened it was a fantastic book that takes you back to the 1700's to follow a woman who was ahead of her time. Truly phenomenal book, I listened to the audio version but enjoyed it so much I bought a physical version to have on my shelf. Which I don't normally do for books that aren't in a series.
