The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes, by Suzanne Collins
Okay, so this won't be a super long review because I don't want to spoil the story for you. It is a fantastic book and I want all of you to get to experience it first-hand like I did. Just a quick overview; The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes precedes the Hunger Games trilogy by 64 years, occurring during the tenth Hunger Games. It is the story of Coriolanus Snow, a student of the Capitol Academy. Nearing his graduation, Snow and his classmates are given one final assignment: to be the first mentors to the tributes of the Hunger Games. The story follows Snow through the Hunger Games and after; shedding light on the route that leads Snow to be the fearsome, powerful Capitol president that we see in the original trilogy. It also shares the history of the creation of the Hunger Games and features some familiar characters and dialogue that may provide insight into Snow's emotional state during the original trilogy. I enjoyed this book immensely. It is a prequel, so it occurs before the trilogy, but having read the trilogy first, I enjoyed the kind of "easter eggs" that appear throughout The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes. If you have not read the Hunger Games trilogy, you can decide for yourself if you would rather read them in timeline order, or release order. Either way, this book is wonderfully written and I would recommend it to fans of all genres. It is the type of story that appeals to many audiences, and I loved it!
The book is available on Amazon, I will link it below! I will also include a link to the original Hunger Games books in case you need to read or refresh yourself on those.
