És el matíde la sega que suposaràl’inici dels desens Jocs de la Fam, celebrats cada any. Al Capitoli, en CoriolàSnow, de divuit anys, es prepara per al seu moment de glòria com a mentor dels Jocs. La casa Snow, en altres temps poderosa, passa per moments difícils i el seu destípenja de la remota possibilitat que en Coriolàsigui capaçde superar els seus companys d’estudis quant a encant, enginy i estratègia fent de mentor per a l’ofrena vencedora.

Peròho tétot en contra. Li han assignat una ofrena humiliant del Districte 12, una noia que sembla la pitjor de totes les que li podien tocar. Ara els seus destins estan inevitablement lligats... cada decisióque prengui en Coriolàpodria comportar l’èxit o el fracàs, el triomf o la perdició. A l’arena, seràuna lluita a mort.

A good prequel with a windy path

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.

Makes you want to reread it all over again.

Personally I loved it. There were moments that bore me sure, but they were short-lived before the book pulls me in again laser focused because the story gives you that edge-of-your-seat feeling. I wish there were more to the ending and I wish there more pages to this book. I can't wait to watch this book in theatres!

A good book, took longer to get through then expected.

If you are a fan of the other Hunger games books, this book takes place before the first book, when the leader of Panam (Coriolanus) is just a young boy ready to attend university.

The book gives you a good idea into Corio's mind and helps explain how he to to thinking the way he does, and also reveals some interesting history from the first books and how they 'came to be'.

An enjoyable book, though I found i could easily put it down, which made it take longer to get through it.
