I'm not sure how to feel about Snow's story. It was fascinating to see how he was when he was younger.
The story is so masterfully crafted, and I feel myself rooting for Snow, even though he's the villain, but we get to see him in a different light and it's really nice... besides all the bad thing's he's done.. he really is a great villain.
I also, love the Easter eggs and tie-ins to The Hunger Games series.

DNF-ing so far. Too late, this one: some bridges cannot be crossed more than once.
I wasn't really ever excited for this book and I'm kind of glad for that. Had I been expecting or hoping for more I think I would've been much more disappointed. As it is, this was all right but Snow is still and always will be a twat. ALSO BASED ON MATH SNOW WAS 84 IN THE HUNGER GAMES WHAT THE HECK.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Review on K-Books
There are no words to describe just how excited I was when I heard Suzanne Collins was writing a prequel to The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is one of my all time favourite series and I can’t even count how many times I have read it. There was some controversy over the fact that this is from the perspective of President Snow. He was the key villain in the original series but I love a villain backstory. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was, ...more

This was pretty slow compared to the original trilogy. And I was a bit confused at what happened at the end...I'll probably just read some other reviews to see what I missed.

I can't belive people did not enjoy this book! I will admit, I took my time getting to this one but once I started I ate it up! This was everything I wanted from a prequel and I will admit, I want more!
So how to review this and not give spoilers is going to be a real problem but here goes:
Basically this is a look back on a young President Snow, long before the Hunger Games trilogy began. Let me just say before going any further, I really hated Snow, I mean really hated him! But once I started th ...more

Did I reach for this book to read every chance I got - yes * check
Did I enjoy the story - yes * check
Were there a few sections that seemed to drag on - yes, not many, but just a few
Did I think about the book after I finished reading it - yes * check
... so 4 stars it is.
I'm surprised to see so many people didn't like this because I loved it. I liked the backstory of Snow. I liked how Collins humanized him and showed how the early experiences of Snow shaped him to be that mosnter we know as Presi ...more

This book was amazing!! I love this series. Like the other Hunger Games books, it is heartbreaking, but so good.
I can't believe I found myself rooting for Snow at times, but of course he goes back to being his awful self by the end of the book.
I really liked getting to see how Snow became the person he is in the Hunger Games.
So many plot twists, which is typical of this series.
I feel so bad for Sejanus! ...more

Giving this 2.5 stars would be generous. The beginning was okay but it drug on a lot. The interesting part was when they actually got into the Hunger Games. I liked Lucy fine but she wasn't a spectacular character. The 3rd section was so bad. It should have ended after the games. The character development was not believable and most of the characters were very one-note... Probably all of them.
I felt this relied too heavily on the main trilogy for world building and didn't do a great job of it. I ...more
