Really slow, even though it’s a prequel. I feel like I did not get a strong sense of why Coriolanus is the way that he is in the original trilogy until the last 100 pages.

This was a bit of a disappointing read for me. It was too slow paced and I found Snow so deeply unlikable that I had a hard time being in his head. It does pick up in the last third though.

It’s been awhile but this book was soooo deep. There was so much about humanity and our nature and it really made me think!
