Finally onto the Hunger Games books I haven‘t read yet. I‘m looking forward to SOTR a little more, but wanted to get through this one first.

Since a new book is coming out, I figured I needed to catch up and read this one. I did see the movie, so I knew the overall story, but I still enjoyed the book. Could‘ve been shorted; it dragged on in several places. It‘s a little clunky, but was interesting to see all the tie-ins to the original trilogy.
This book was unnecessarily long. Snow's backstory is interesting, but I think the author was trying to make him sympathetic, and I found him annoying and self consumed from the start. The book dragged on. So much could have been edited out without losing any character development or story. I found myself skimming a lot. It's definitely not on par with the original trilogy. Now, how do I tell my daughter who's been begging me to read it? 😟
It was interesting to read President Snow‘s origin story!

Coming down from reading the Hunger Games, I feel let down. It felt flat, learning of Snow when he was a teen. There were tidbits to connect the Hunger Games trilogy, though not enough to keep me engaged. I wish there was more of a connection of Snow of them and Snow of the trilogy. Felt like a totally different person, on a way that I don‘t see how he changed so much. Let alone everything with Lucy Gray. Who wass so much more interesting.
I really enjoyed reading this book to understand the up bringing of Coriolanus snow
This book takes a unique approach on the hunger games series. By describing presidents snows up bringing before the original hunger games series.
