Wow!! So good to get to read about Snow’s history and learn more about the war and earlier hunger games. This book was good but it definitely took me awhile to finish even though the language and writing was easy to understand. I think I enjoyed the hunger games portion the most

before Snow got REALLY messed up, I mean we of course know he’s bad now but it was nice to see the before. I think that Snow is such a complex and confused character; I really enjoyed how he was written and I enjoyed his inner thoughts even if sometimes he gave me the ick lol. He is written well in that his actions and thoughts contradict each other (especially his relationship with Sejanus) Sometimes he hates him then he’s glad to see him then ultimately he betrays him but feels guilty for that, he really is crazy!

I wish the ending was a bit better but I guess it’s fitting given that we know how Snow turns out. Overall, super happy to be getting more in the hunger games universe.
