3.5* I enjoyed reading this but I also really hated it. The first part was slow to get into but once it started to pick up it was enjoyable. The second part was probably my favourite, and the third was just wtf?? The story made me feel bad for Snow (ugh) but also made me hate him even more than I did in the original series. It gave a good backstory and made links to the Hunger Games which I liked, but the third part was just so weird and the ending was so abrupt. Overall I enjoyed being in the hunger games world again, even if I kind of hated reading about Snow.
