this book is my actual roman empire i could talk hours about snow as a character. I hate him so much yet that makes the book good, this is far from a villain story he shows signs of the dictator we know from the original series even before going through all the traumatic shit. He has such an unhealthy relationship with everyone because of his superiority complex to the point the only one he keeps by the end of the book is with Dr Gaul who is actively making him a worse person so she could pass down the games to become his responsibility. anyways beautiful story i will forever be a lucy gray fan 🫶‼️
