A masterfully-crafted prequel of The Hunger Games depicting the journey of Coriolanus Snow before he became the antagonist in the hit trilogy.
Little E recently finished The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins and couldn’t wait to dive into its prequel - The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Here’s her review:
"Eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow sees his one chance at glory as a mentor in the tenth annual Hunger Games, but the odds are against him when he is assigned the female tribute from District 12. Determined to restore the status of the once-great House of Snow, which has fallen on hard times, he relies on his cunning and wit to mentor the winning tribute. In the deadly arena, where it’s a fight to the death, Coriolanus begins to lose hope for his tribute.
Faced with the choice of following the rules or ensuring his and his tribute's survival at any cost, Coriolanus’s journey unfolds with unexpected twists and turns. This masterfully crafted backstory of Coriolanus had me hooked until the very last page. I found myself rooting for him at various points, especially through his dynamic relationship with his tribute as they navigate challenges together. This prequel provided me with a whole new perspective on Coriolanus Snow, and how he became the antagonist in The Hunger Games - I enjoyed it thoroughly.”
