Honestly, even though I enjoyed the original trilogy, this may be my favorite of The Hunger Games series thus far. The complexity of and internal conflict of Coriolanus Snow is captivating, intriguing and even chilling at times. Learning his origin and the more about the creation of several aspects of The Hunger Games as we know them several decades later is fascinating and provides several answers to previous mysteries. The ethical, moral and romantic battles are profoundly entertaining. Definitely looking forward to “Sunrise on the Reaping” for even more access into the world of Panem - it’s Capitol and Districts.
