The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

I know there was a ton of hype over this book. I was very excited for this book when I found out it was coming. I am happy to say that I was not disappointed. This book had me on a emotional roller coaster. I loved Coriolanus and Lucy and Sejanus especially. There were so many dynamics with the characters alone and the circumstances each the capital members and the tributes were in was shocking. I thought the original trilogy circumstances were rough but omg I was shocked the setting and environment this book set the scene with. It was well written and honestly was not the side I expected to see out of Coriolanus since the original trilogy he was a vile, and very hateful individual to those that defied the capital. Dr. Gaul really pissed me off with her psychotic thinking and methods but yeah. I'm trying to keep this spoiler free but I loved everything about this book.
