The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
5.0
Wow. Suzanne Collins has still got it. This series really makes for a fascinating study of political allegory, propaganda and unreliable narration. This particular novel maps the stunning transformation of a privileged boy into a self-righteous villain. Poor Lucy Gray.
Graphic: Gun violence, Suicidal thoughts, Toxic relationship, Violence, Xenophobia, Murder, War, and Injury/Injury detail
