A very good written villian backstory there's no tragic backstory and Suzanne Collins doesn't make you sympathize with Coriolanus Snow she reminds you he is not a good person and just reading his inner monologues there were so creepy 
Sejeanus, Lucy Gray and Tigris were my favorite characters 
Overall I enjoyed reading this book

Obsessed with Snow. What an absolutely diabolical and heinous person he is. I can see this being a class read for young teens in the future.
