A great addition to the Hunger Games trilogy and which adds a really good backstory about Snow. The way his moral compass slipped away and he turned into the evil character we know for the original trilogy was very well written. I found the end quite rushed and I think the start of the book could have been made a bit shorter to allow the events at the end of the book more time. Overall I would definitely recommend this book for any Hunger Games fans and the book made me want to reread the original series.
