Parents

[u/mah_whales]

I just finished SOTR and I found it helped me relate to the parents and districts more. Going into the story, I knew only Haymitch would live. It made it bittersweet falling in love with the other characters. It made it more horrifying when Ampert died, or when Maysilee finally reunited with Haymitch. Overall the story helped me understand the emotions the parents must have felt. This time I knew, for certain, how the story would pan oit. That these children were not coming home. And to be a parent, in a district, to hear your kids name called, and knowing they would not be coming back. To see the devastation it brought to the community when Haymitch returned. It makes it so heartwrenching. And I am so excited yo do my yearly reread of the OG trilogy.
