Another book where the movie adaptation is almost identical. I guess I enjoyed more of the commentary from Snow's thoughts, it did give me more context for some scenes. But still it's enjoyable, you know you are going to get a solid story from the Hunger Games series.

meh?? this was fine i guess? snow’s personality felt very all of the place and wishy washy which made it hard to get any sort of grasp on him as a character. also for it being a villain origin story, it just didn’t work imo. we knew he was evil going into it, so 500
pages of him mostly just doing more cruel things wasn’t surprising.
