Chatting Books Online Day 124. So during all the recent events : pandemic, murder hornets, etc, lots of people made Hunger Games jokes but did you know that during this time Suzanne Collins also released a new book? Well she did . The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is actually a prequel to the Hunger Games trilogy and shares the story of President Snow as a teenager. What I loved about the book is it really did a fantastic job of taking all the little strings throughout the three original books and gave them all a fully fleshed out origin story. Not only how did Corilanus Snow become President Snow, but where did Mockingjays come from, what's his obsession with roses about, how did the peacekeepers come to be, when did they decide to start allowing onlookers to send tributes food, how did the Hunger Games even really begin to exist and what is the motivation for them? So much is answered beautifully in this book I now want to go back and re-read the trilogy to see what else I can pick up. And you know what I actually (sometimes) felt a bit of compassion for him. The book is really well done . Currently only available hardcover $27.99 a copy.
