This book is many things: Fascinating, intricate, dark, and occasionally beautiful. It does not shy away from the darkest aspects of humanity, and it uses shock value in the most effective ways possible. Nothing in this book felt without purpose or direction - the entire time I was reading it I could see the road it was paving before me. Naturally it was never quite the whole story, as with many of the things in this book. If you are considering reading this book, I absolutely recommend it - if you can stomach a book with brutal honesty, and one that closely examines humanity’s worst sides.

It twisted and turned it certainly makes sense why katnis caught his attention

This might be my favorite out of all the hunger games books

This story was amazing, definitely in my top. I decided to read this after I watched the movie, I wanted to see more of Coriolanus’s POV, and I did. This book was amazing. I almost felt sorry for him, but in the end I know Lucy is still out there, I got hope for my girl. This story was fascinating, thrilling, and terrifying. The end when he’s in the forest really was the cherry on top for me, it was as almost I felt his rage/sadness. Wish he never said anything about 3 people and went on to live with Lucy but without that we’d never have Katniss to thank for ridding the world of a terrible leader <3

suzanne collins is a genius

It’s not letting me read the book I bought

Gives great insight about Snow and his thinking process. A bit over explained in some spots but a good read. Interested to see how the movie plays in comparison.

The girl Lay Lay

This book was amazing ! Definitely liked how it connects back to the original trilogy throughout the book. Loved the backstory to how Snow became the way he did. Lucy Gray was a great addition to Snow’s history. Would love to read her POV.

I really enjoyed this book. I love the series so I was really excited when this came out.
