Meh, ik weet niet zo goed wat ik vind. Zoveel interessante thema's en toch was het verhaal vaak zo... saai? Ik kon niet zo genieten van het lezen als ik bij De Hongerspelen deed, helaas. Moet het nog even laten bezinken.

— did i expect anything from this? no, so i’m not entirely disappointed. in fact i thought this was better than it’d be, and whilst reading about the origins of many hunger games traditions was interesting… i still don’t get why this book was written… there just was no point at all.
this book felt like a genuine fever dream and i hope in the future suzanne collins decided to write either a haymitch abernathy or a finnick odair origin story instead of one that brings nothing to the table.

Probably definitely giving this 4 stars only because of my love of The Hunger Games trilogy. If this was a standalone book it would probably be 2 stars from me.
It was boring and I didn’t connect with any of the characters except maybe one side character. Perhaps this is also because I watched the movie first and then read the book, but I feel like I didn’t gain any additional insight from reading, except realizing the extent to which Coriolanus was a self-serving kiss-ass.
The parts about the creation of some of the Hunger Games elements was interesting. Also, the songs Katniss sang.

On en apprend tellement sur le président Snow et sur les débuts des Hunger games... c'est vraiment un bon préquel! Je suis contente d'avoir lu ce tome! Je conseille!
