Because I knew that The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was going to be about Snow before reading it, my expectations were low when I started it. I actually really enjoyed the first two parts of the novel and learning more about the evolution of the games. I didn't find Snow to be a very captivating character but I liked how his journey mirrored the reverse of Katniss's. I also felt his relationship with Lucy Gray was unnecessary. Overall, I found this book too predictable from having already read the trilogy. However, I would still read another prequel if it centered around Haymitch or Finnick!
