Coriolanus Snow is a douche.
Sorry for that blunt comment, but it's true.
The long awaited prequel to The Hunger Games is finally here!
This book follows Coriolanus Snow, better known as President Snow.
So, this takes place during the 10th Hunger Games and for the first time, the Capitol is allowing academy students to act as mentors to their district tributes. Obviously, Snow gets the short stick and ends up with a small girl from District 12. But he admires her fierce snake attack on another potential tribute; what really does it for him is the moment she starts singing. Snow cannot imagine a world where Lucy Gray could ever possibly win the Hunger Games. The odds are not in her favor when lined up with the rest of the tributes. But Snow is determined to find a way to make this girl a winner.
Having the academy students mentor this tributes gave a new perspective to the Hunger Games. It created a hands on experience for the students involved. The games are very simple, kids get thrown into an arena to fight to the death. The games were originally created as punishment for Districts revolting against the Capitol. They want the Districts to suffer. But the games needed some improvements and the floor was open to the academy students. But it's Coriolanus's idea that sticks, let people make bets on who they believe will win. They can show their support by donating money to their very own tribute. The money can be spent on food, water, basic necessities and it's up to their mentor to get these items delivered into the arena.
Now there's some twists and turns that I'd really love to spill but I don't want you guys to hate me for posting spoilers.....so I can't even really talk about part 3 of the book.
BUT, I do see many, many connections that I'm dying to get off my chest so if you're interested in spoilers and are dying to know what I'm not posting....PLEASE MESSAGE ME.
