Knowing the story of the hunger games I have always wondered what made Snow so evil and after reading this book I was blown away with his story. I was worried that the author was going to take the approach of making you feel bad for the villain, but instead she does the opposite. You don’t feel bad for Snow, he makes his choices all on his own and you do not feel any sympathy towards him and that is what makes it so good. You see how the evil is made and it is written so well. Lucy Gray is a beautifully written character and it is so sad she has to be apart of Snows rise to evil.
