I think that some Hunger Games fans may steer clear of this novel because they think it paints President Snow in a sympathetic light. I personally didn’t get that from the book at all! I think it’s a fantastic execution of an unreliable narrator and a great look into Panem before Katniss.
Graphic: Death and Murder
Moderate: Drug use
Minor: Suicide
