The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

I suppose for a prequel, this wasn't terrible. It was kind of interesting learning more about the war and the early days of the Hunger Games and what made President Snow what he is... but I have a hard time with books where the protagonist is hard to root for. I also thought the relationships were weakly established, so I wasn't drawn in by that, either. And it was about a third too long. But it was still enjoyable to be transported back to that world.
