islayfraser 's review for:
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
by Suzanne Collins
dark
emotional
reflective
sad
tense
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
This surpassed all my expectations. I'm always a little skeptical when an author goes back to a series after so many years but I heard everywhere that this prequel was worth it. The character development especially was SO well-done, and tied into the complex plot, the cause-and-effect got so complicated that all I could do was appreciate the completely insane but realistic reaction to so much trauma. I now need to reread The Hunger Games because I don't how I could forget if all of Collins' books are this phenomenal.
(I apologize if this review kind of doesn't make sense, I am quite sleep-deprived because of school but also I could not put this book down tonight until I finished it.)
