dark emotional sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Not as bad as I expected as per some of the reviews. 

A prequel for The Hunger Games seems unnecessary. It’s a solid trilogy that I consider to be a modern classic. A must read series. As for “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” it’s not necessary to the series but not a bad supplemental read, either. It’s just not great.
