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

dark tense fast-paced

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

2.0

I liked it? But the end was so rushed and overly ambiguous. We know Snow is bad and he was never a good guy..

but that was a steep drop off in character development in the last ten pages
