Ambition will fuel him.
Competition will drive him. But power has its price. It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.The odds are against him. He’s been
given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute
from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely
intertwined – ; every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to
favour or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be
a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel
for his doomed tribute… and must weigh his need to follow the
rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.
Three
books, four films and one WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON, The
Hunger Games changed the face of global YA.
Reviews
I think this book was quite good and set a good start for the Hunger Games series. However, I think this book was too emotional and romantic and the betrayal of the relationship at the end of the book was a negative ending and running off when given a good position as an officer was awkward

It was a prequel to the hunger games and my favourite character was Ma Plinth because she kept sending cakes.I also liked the main character snow himself. I would recommend it to people who have read the actual hunger games.

The ending seemed rushed and ruined it, but I was hooked throughout the rest.
