A review by curlymango
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

3.75

Taking it for what it is, I thought it was pretty entertaining. Having Snow as an unreliable narrator was compelling and to me, Collins struck a nice balance between empathy for and condemnation of her characters. The ending/epilogue felt slightly rushed, but that’s whatever. The characters’ names are so goofy this time around, but eventually it made sense, since most of their motivations stem from not wanting to be made a fool out of. Excited to see this on screen! Also does this mean the Hunger Games series counts as a Shakespeare adaptation?
