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 outmaneuver 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 favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death.

Alcuni dettagli non mi hanno convinto a pieno, per esempio la "trasformazione" di Coriolanus durante la terza parte la ho trovata quasi forzata. Nelle prime due parti Snow è un personaggio per lo più buono e soprattutto dopo esser stato cacciato da Capitol city non si capisce benissimo da dove nasca questo suo patriottismo verso il paese che lo ha apparentemente cacciato. Per il resto la storia è carina e ci sono personaggi come Lucy Gray e Seianus interessanti

Personally I loved it. There were moments that bore me sure, but they were short-lived before the book pulls me in again laser focused because the story gives you that edge-of-your-seat feeling. I wish there were more to the ending and I wish there more pages to this book. I can't wait to watch this book in theatres!
