Description This fifth book in the Hunger Games series compellingly bridges the gap between 2020’s The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and the original trilogy. It fills in quite a bit of character history while focusing on the dangers of governmental tyranny. The story praises bravery and the need for friendship and self-sacrifice in the face of such tyranny. Its the 50th year of the Panem’s Hunger Games: a battle-to-the-death contest designed to teach the masses that treason against the Capital comes at a huge price. And 16-year-old Haymitch Abernathy is the tribute who’ll represent District 12.
