“Both a tense, character-driven piece and a cautionary tale….The twists and heartbreaks captivate despite tragic inevitabilities.” “y introducing a new cast of teenagers, Collins is able to raise questions about privilege, the uses of violence, and the futility of war. For true fans of The Hunger Games, Collins shines most as she weaves in tantalizing details that lend depth to the gruesome world she created in the original series and Coriolanus’s place in its history. “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes builds on the original series’ overt critique of violence and those who perpetuate it, again in terms that speak to a more mature audience than their young-adult marketing might suggest. “esmerizing…Collins once again proves that she is a master of building a fascinating world around complex characters.” Do we want to hear - now, after we know the endgame - that the young Voldemort was unfairly saddled with a demerit in class or that the adolescent Sauron fretted because he had to wear hand-me-down clothes? Yes, please.” “It is a steep challenge to write a book whose hero is, everyone knows, destined to become deeply evil. “The top book in the first half of 2020.” “A home run of a best seller by publishing’s standards.” Mockingjay was released August 24, 2010, and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was published May 19, 2020.
