A great book (like ever Hunger games book) but I think it was a very slow read in the end.Still one of the best books

THIS CAN ONLY END IN TEARS

Beautiful. Horrific. Emotionally devastating. Hopeful. Hopeless. Knew where it was going and still kept reading swearing to myself that maybe, just maybe…
It has been a long time since a book has gripped me so tight that I was angry and distracted whenever I had to put it down, concerned only with when I would have time to read it next, but this did that in spades. 

BoSaS lays the groundwork for The Hunger Games as we know it from its 74th iteration forward and gave a harrowing look at how exactly it (and many other aspects of the original trilogy) evolved. A gorgeously detailed adventure that speeds like a freight train to its inevitable and crushing end
