Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
The way Collins in no way redeemed Snow but also gave a realistic portrayal of someone who is indoctrinated by fear, paranoia, and the mentality of "others" bringing them down... It's just so good. Collins is a fantastic writer who can weave an interesting plot at a breakneck pace with rich character analysis. *chef's kiss*
Giving a 4 instead of 5 because I felt a lot of the references to the main trilogy felt a little cringe and it was difficult at points to be stuck with Snow's POV.
