Round 2: The Ballad of the Songbirds and Snakes

   The Ballad of the Songbirds and Snakes Written by Suzanne Collins ~517 pages Originally published in 2020 Rate: 5/5 (Second reading) It's not often that I read the same book twice, but when I do, it's because it was GOOD.  In my previous blog post about The Ballad of the Songbirds and Snakes I essentially recapped the introduction of the story, mentioned my thoughts on Coriolanus as a main character, the hanging tree lore, who is Katniss' relative, and Taylor Swift. In this post I want to be more specific and instead focus on SPOILERS .  There have only been a handful of books I enjoyed and a fraction of those books I would consider rereading. I enjoyed reading this book the first time around, but I might not have considered rereading it if it hadn’t been for the announcement of Sunrise on the Reaping, also known as the second prequel to The Hunger Games. During my last blog post the movie reveal was just announced for The Ballad of the Songbirds and Snakes. To everyone
