A review by shiradest
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
4.0
I will admit to being a little skeptical at first about this prequel, Collins has done an excellent job developing sympathy for a protagonist that we know later on, decades later, is a ruthless villain. What I also particularly appreciated about this book is how she shows the horrors which a civilian population goes through during wartime. And she also shows how authoritarian leaders justify their cruelty. An excellent surprise ending as well. Maybe not surprising come to think of it but it was an excellent twist ending.
