The prequel to the Hunger Games series was one I was looking forward to for a while as I had loved repeatedly watching all of the other movies. However, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was by far my favorite of the whole series.

His life fast-fowards as the audience witnesses Snow as a young adult preparing for the reaping.

The story follows these two protagonists, as their relationship develops, and Lucy Gray tries to stay alive in the games. This book is incredibly well written. It is a great continuation of the series The Hunger Games.
As the second book of the widely famous trilogy, The Hunger Games, Catching Fire has got to be one of the best books I have ever read.

I recently reread The Hunger Games after seeing the new trailer for Songbirds and Snakes which comes out in November. I totally forgot how much I loved this book, its characters, plot, setting, everything is written beautifully. Suzanne Collins did a wonderful job creating this series and I believe it’s a must read for everyone.
