A great edition to the saga
Here we have a great prequel to a saga I love and it was done well. In this book we are taken back to the early days of the Hunget Games, with the turmoil of the war still felt. Instead of seeing the Games from the perspective of not some District reble, but the Capital born Cornelious Snow.
A little inside into his early and transformative years was refreshing and made me want to dive right back into the trilogy.
One thing Susan Collins does so well is write protagonists who are far from perfect and borderline unlikeable, yet from Katniss to Snow, somehow, we still end up routing for them.
Well worth a read, but it is definitely better read after The Hunger Games, when it will be truly apriciated.
Get ready to gasp!
