I feel like this gives us a better insight on Snow's mind.

Unlike the original trilogy, I got attached to very few characters since his point of view tends to go over most people. Although it does make sense, it makes for a less engaging story.

I think the ending was a bit too quick for my taste. In the attempt to portray him as the President Snow we know, I feel like he loses any little humanity that was given to him during the book.

Overall, I liked the book though and was happy to get back to the Hunger Games universe.
