5.0

Am I rereading this again post-Songbirds and Snakes? Yes.

Do I feel completely justified in my initial assessment that SoS is written completely differently than THG, and that is part of my distaste for the book? Also yes. 

This book remains untouched. One of the very best. 

I only read the series once, in college, but have seen the moves tens of times at this point, so it was nice to refresh my memory about what made the books both so different and so special.
