What an extremely great read for an admirer of The Hunger Game series. Collins did a fantastic job portraying democracy vs tyranny and political portrayal that she is so good at.

The entire book is basically how Snow is one wrong turn from a psychotic break. I never knew when he would finally snap. Would it be during the 10th games? When the taxes came? When He had to help Sejanus in the arena? No it finally came when Lucy Gray fled for her life.

We finally got to see the hypocrisy, paranoia, and manipulation that is cruel enough to live through the hunger games and continue them.

Will there be another prequel? Maybe a story about the war?
