The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

dark sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

Overall an okay read. When compared to the original trilogy this falls short, but it’s hard to make anything better than the original. Some of the reverse foreshadowing (don’t know what else to call it) was a bit heavy handed but I don’t blame Collins too much since media literacy seems to be at an all time low. Interesting to see how things developed from the 10th Hunger Games and to compare it to the 74th.
