The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

I quite liked how many times we're allowed inside Coriolanus's head in the third person perspective; Collins has a gift in how she writes for these young frantic minds. Still, I am quite whelmed, as this entry in the Hunger Games universe relies heavily on callbacks to the original trilogy and adds little of note to the world of Panem. There's nothing overly challenging or surprising in offer here.
