4.0
I’m giving this about a 4.5. I finished this about a half hour ago and I’ve been trying to collect my thoughts on it. To my surprise, I actually really enjoyed it.
But for the people calling this a love story, did you read the same book I did? Sure there were a few romantic moments. But in the end, this book was about capitol control, and what Snow will do to get what he wants.
I enjoyed learning how The Hunger Games came to be The Games we see in the original trilogy. I also enjoyed meeting Coriolanus Snow before he became the evil President we have all come to know. That being said, this wasn’t a redemption story at all. Definitely his villain origins. Or at least the start of them.
Now please Suzanne Collins, give us all what we really wanted. Haymitch’s year in The Hunger Games.
