The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

I wasn't expecting to give this 5 stars. But I ended up really enjoying it!

I only read the original Hunger Games trilogy about 2 months ago, so I don't have the perspective of someone who's loved those books since they were released. I don't know if that had any impact on my reaction to the prequel or not.

Regardless, while this book is not as good as the original trilogy, it made me appreciate the original trilogy even more. In my opinion, Suzanne Collins did a great job with Snow's story. This is now one of my favorite series of all time!
