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

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

If you’ve read the Hunger Games trilogy then you’ll enjoy this book. It follows the story of President Snow from his younger years. Definitely filled in some story line info for the trilogy. It’s obviously dark in theme like the trilogy so be prepared!
