From the Hunger Games I know the character of Snow but he was even more despicable in this book. I don't think I've ever disliked a character more, he was self absorbed and pure evil at times. He always believes he's right and most of the book is just him justifying his actions.
Also the female singing parts were quite weird and unnerving to listen to when being spoken by a man. There was quite a lot of singing, it would've been nice for it to be sung on the audiobook.

Moderate: Pandemic/Epidemic and Police brutality
Minor: Suicide attempt, Classism, Death of parent, and Cannibalism
