Overall a good book, a great read that took me back to my time as a teenager reading the original hunger games. My one qualm is that the pacing is weird and it ends very abruptly.

I think that some Hunger Games fans may steer clear of this novel because they think it paints President Snow in a sympathetic light. I personally didn’t get that from the book at all! I think it’s a fantastic execution of an unreliable narrator and a great look into Panem before Katniss.
