I was hesitant to read this when it wasn’t Katniss/Peeta centric, but I’m glad I read it!! What a phenomenal read. Holy shit. I am amazed at Collins’ writing style and her ability to write social commentary in a subtler way. Snow’s development throughout the book is so compelling that you forget you already know who he turns out to be.
