katietotallybooked 's review for:
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
by Suzanne Collins
As a Hunger Games fan, am I glad I read this book? Yes.
Did I love the entire reading experience? No. This book is long. Over 500 pages. And it covers A LOT of ground.
However, it was interesting to learn about the history of The Hunger Games, and to know more about Snow. I am glad that I listened to the audio, while reading the physical because there are so many names to pronounce! It also helped me read at a steady pace.
I will be excited for the movie adaptation that I am sure is to come. I still find that I handle fantasy/sci-fi/books with serious world-building better on film because I can fully visualize what the author is describing.
So as a my one YA fantasy / sci-fi / dystopia book for the year, I am happy with my experience but I won't be raving about this book to anyone who asks.
