A review by emma_lynn_writes
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
4.0
This is a "villain origin story" done right. It fosters understanding of our common humanity, but not excuses. What you believe about the world will determine how you act, and I appreciated how the author engaged in centuries-long philosophical debates in a way that I think will be accessible to a younger audience.
Graphic: Death and Violence
Moderate: Torture and War
Minor: Animal cruelty, Cursing, Drug abuse, Suicidal thoughts, Cannibalism, and Death of parent
