So going into this book I was expecting to dislike it, since i though it was supposed to make me sympathize with Snow. After reading it, I actually really enjoyed it. I think it well shows his character, but also how he became the cruel monster we know of in the hunger games. While this book was not really necessary, it was enjoyable to read.

Edit: This book is really interesting and I think it really helps to understand the characters.

So I guess this is a pretty good book. I found the plot somewhat interesting, but I also found it to be a bit predictable. The characters were also interesting, but there was nothing making them extremely likeable. I do think this was a good book but I didn’t feel much excitement I guess to read it. I would still recommend trying this book out to see if you like it.

Edit: I enjoyed the book more the second time.
