The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

prinstonhoang's review against another edition

4.0

This book started off really good. The first half of the book completely captivated me and kept me glued. Collins really brought you into the world of Panem and brought back the nostalgia from the first Hunger Games. However, after that it started to become pretty repetitive and monotonous. The story itself is strong but I feel as though the book had a lot of not needed chapters. It almost felt too long. With that being said I very much enjoyed it and am very excited for the film adaption to come out.

Heard about the movie,
So wanted to read before,
Loved the book indeed,
So earned five feathers, not four.

I have so many questions and thoughts that will never be answered. A great book, with amazing insight to Snow. But, there could definitely be MORE. I need answers
