somehow i missed this book when it was released and only found out about it after re-reading the original hunger games books last december. It took me a while to really get into the story but once i was invested, i could not stop reading. I love the hunger games world and it was so interesting to see it in a different time. I also enjoyed the character of Snow, since i sometimes caught myself sympathizing with him, even though he is clearly a horrible person. However I would have liked seeing more of Snow's time rising to power and what he did to become president and learning about what happend with him and tigris. I'm really excited for the movie to come out and i think this is a must-read for hunger games fans.
