Movie Rating
I've read the original Hunger Games trilogy.

I'd seen the quartet of movies based on those books.

I haven't read the prequel, on which this is based.

So I had little knowledge of what to expect, going in, other than that it centred on a young Cornelius Snow before he becomes the tyrannical president of the original films.

This film is very clearly split into 3 acts (each proceeded by a card naming such): The Mentor, The Prize and The Peacekeeper - with the first two of those three acts the better.

Final act drags on a bit.

The middle section is the bit set during the 10th annual Hunger Games, which - here - are far more 'basic', far more 'real' than that of the Jennifer Lawrence films, with Rachel Zeigler's Lucy Gray also more a performer forced to become a warrior than Lawrence's Everdeen (the exact opposite).

Leaphorn and Chee Finally Team Up
Lt. Joe Leaphorn is baffled by three seemingly unconnected murders on the Navajo reservation. He has no evidence that they are connected, but something makes him think they are. Then Officer Jim Chee’s trailer is shot up, and he barely escapes. As the two start working together, they must find a connection. Can they?

I’ve been waiting for these characters to team up, and this book was worth the wait. Author Tony Hillerman likes this kind of plot, and he’s a master at it. Leaphorn and Chee are different enough that they will play off each other well going forward. They split time as the viewpoint characters well. The rest of the characters aren’t quite as well developed as the leads, but they work for their part in the story. I’m anxious to see what case these two characters take on next.
