Suzanne Collins can really do no wrong in my eyes. Her world-building is top-tier. Even with this new addition to the original trilogy, the world of Panem—its history, rules, and values—remain consistent. With a number of beloved characters from the original series, she could have chosen anyone for which to write a story. However, Snow seemed like the most appropriate choice. Despite a significant amount of exposition, the book flowed well and was an easy but engaging read. I have Part 3 to blame for some irresponsibly late reading nights.

We all know what happens to Coriolanus Snow, so it’s nice to see how he gets to be that way. Like most men, he put poor Lucy (in this case) on an unobtainable pedestal and she was the one who paid for it.

This book's prequel status is aided by reading the original trilogy first, for anyone who is just getting into this story for the first time!
