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

2.0

this book was soooo so so so slow. i felt like i couldn’t see an end to it at any point of the book. it literally felt like instead of a following a normal reading pattern, i was going up and down so many hills trying to figure out the point and where it was going.

the ending (last 30 pages or so??) was more interesting than the entire book. the relationships were lackluster, and most of the tied up ends didn’t contribute to the panem universe. it really felt like reading a fan fiction with all the nods to the original trilogy, rather than a true prequel.

i’m so sad that i didn’t love this.
