A review by cactuschild
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
dark
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
5.0
This one keeps you up when you finish it. Masterfully written, beautifully constructed. This is not just a prequel, it is the ghost of the Hunger Games given living form. If you hated what the movies did to the trilogy, you should read this book.
Graphic: Child abuse, Racism, Violence, Child death, and Classism
