Matt K ha recensito The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes di Suzanne Collins
A good prequel with a windy path
3 stelle
This is a pretty decent book! It’s YA and if you appreciate it as such, it’s rewarding. It’s good to see a villain get a good backstory. The first half drags a little- takes forever to get to the actual hunger games, but the author is setting some traps for us to later stumble into.
It really picks up in the second half with some twists that bring Coriolanus Snow closer and closer to his true self as a sort of talented Mr Ripley.
The ending is vile and well done.
