A review by mysti_8l
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

dark emotional tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

crazy rushed at the end. i would have liked a lot more development with snow becoming evil. i do like how his true motive of survival was laced throughout the book though. like when lucy gray thought he killed mayfair for her even though it was for himself. honestly, this felt like a pretty good fanfiction. definitely not as good as the trilogy, but still an enjoyable read despite its flaws
