snow is genuinely so dramatic and sassy and unhinged like reading this book was so entertaining. i love lucy gray and also loved how in the epilogue it shifted from calling him coriolanus to just snow. amazing book and an amazing movie as well!

i really loved the first book and was honestly expecting a lot more from this sequel. i thought the ending was okay, but i wish we got a clear answer on what happened with the trial. i think it would've been satisfying to know that kevin was put away.
