An excellent addition to the trilogy
There are no spoilers in this review, so it's quite safe to read :)The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was not at all like what I thought it would be, and I loved it. It's like the Hunger Games books in many ways - answering many questions and yet leaving many unanswered. It is the thrill of recognizing certain aspects of the trilogy in this novel that made it so interesting; that, and the endless action. Each chapter contains so many surprises, and the plot twists and turns in such a way that I can never predict what's going to happen next. This is a must-read for all returning Hunger Games readers and dystopian fiction lovers. Can't wait for the movie!

Worth a read
Book arrived in great condition. Good prequel to the hunger games trilogy. But worth only one read. Might as well get the Kindle version.

Snow lands on top!
Suzanne Collins please take a bow! TBOSAS engulfed me just like The Hunger Games had! She's not a romance writer but she writes love stories so well in harrowing dystopia.I remember feeling kinda disappointed when I heard that this book would be about Coriolanus Snow. But man oh man oh man... the last few pages reminded me once again how much I hated Snow. To see his cold, devious and tyrant self emerge slowly from all the circumstances was nothing but scary.(spoiler) PS, Lucy Gray was the og rebel. To think Katniss unknowingly rubbed Snow off by singing the love song written for Snow gave me such satisfaction. Lucy Gray, you deserved better. 😔✊

Another brilliant Villain origin
This book answers so many questions from hunger games and still gives readers enough room to imagine and create their own stories..

Shoot the Editors with a Paper Bullet
The storyline is excellent as expected in the prequel to the series, but my ten-year old, who is crazy for Hunger Games, often finds it difficult to comprehend The Ballad.When I checked the text, I realised the boy could not figure out things because the 'pronoun back-reference' is often not clear. Check chapter four of the book. One has to track back to know 'she' refers to the grandmother or the girl whom Coriolanus is going to receive at the railway station. (Sorry, I am not clear about the names as I have not read any of the books.)I had to help out my son with the noun mentioned on the previous page (three paragraphs behind), even when the noun 'grandmother' had already occurred in between, which referred to the pronoun 'she'. Then, my son could make sense of the prose on the pages.My son said, 'But the paragraph has changed, right? Why hasn't she repeated the name?' Poor boy!Well, not Suzanne Collins' error. But, yeah, one should shoot the editor with a paper bullet made out of a style guide's page, as a punishment for confusing children.

New & Beautiful (perhaps imported?)
I received my book within 2 days and I’m very satisfied! I’m assuming this book was imported due to the price being printed in dollars and not Indian rupees. Overall it’s a lovely book handed to us in a great condition! I can’t wait to read it.
