Welcome to the 10th Hunger Games ! I'm back with my reviews everytime I read a book, and today it's about the controversial prequel "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" by Suzanne Collins. The story takes place when Coriolanus Snow, known as the evil president of Panem, is a young adult and about to become the mentor of a tribute...
We follow his youth, his issues, his love life, how the games were back then etc etc. New characters are introduced and we learn about a few of them that we knew during the saga. Itself, the book is interesting, intriguing, you just want to see where it goes. However, as a prequel of a saga, it doesn't bring anything and kind of makes no sense. Some evil characters can't have a background story, not everyone can be like Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Plus, the issues I have with Suzanne Collins' writing are the way she rushes her endings, to the point I have to go backwards to see what I have missed. Same thing happened when I read Mockingjay and nothing has changed I guess.
I'm curious to see how the movie is going to look like, though I believe it's unnecessary.
