The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

being in snow’s head for 16 hours (audiobook) was EXHAUSTING. but what a supervillain! his inner thoughts really got kinda scary at the end.

i liked how this book gave me a lot of insight into the WHYs of the hunger games. i liked the politics of it and i liked hearing his inner thoughts and turmoil as he justified his actions and worldview.

i loved all the easter eggs and tie-ins to the original series. and i loved that every time he showed his true colors i could think about how he gets his comeuppance in such an unwittingly personal way.
