4.5

going back into panem felt like coming home, the hunger games was my favorite series growing up, and has continued to be a favorite as i’ve gotten older. 

suzanne collins does a masterful job of using imagery and symbolism to show coriolanus’s descent into the beginnings of being the cornelius snow we know and hate. 

coriolbutthole is the most self-centered evil pos i have ever had the misfortune of reading about. it was a masterpiece. i hated him so much??? he just got worse & worse as the story went on, but it was so subtle i almost didn’t realize the amount of change he had gone through. 

this book was seeped in nostalgia, but i think its the one hunger games book i don’t know if i will be able to reread anytime soon. he made me so mad. 

10/10 recommend. he sucks. tom blyth is way too hot to play him.
