I do think there were a bit too many pieces of foreshadowing that took me out of the story
I thought the pacing of the first half of the book was really strong and it kept me engaged with the characters and where the plot was heading. Then in the second half of the book, though, things just moved by too quickly where it felt like the plot was rushed.
It was unnerving to see just how much of the Hunger Games' evolution Snow played a role in and it set up his villain arc for the Katniss' story nicely.
All in all, this doesn't quite live up to the excellent social commentary found in the trilogy, but is still a fascinating and enjoyable book for any Hunger Games fan.

I enjoyed hunger games so much I was happy to have another perspective in the world of Panem.
The ending was a surprise to me - after getting over not knowing everything about the ending, I decided I enjoy a little mystery.
