 I was looking forward to this book, I was, however I felt very let down by the final product. In this revisit to the world of the Hunger Games, we're greeted with Coriolanus Snow, future president of Panem and currently a dirt-poor boy clinging to a family legacy that was tied up in munitions in district 13.... the district that was bombed to end the war.
