Everything you’d expect of Suzanne Collins

Sue From Masterton Store - June 2020

Suzanne Collins is the author of the Hunger Games series and this newest offering is a prequel set 64 years before the events of Hunger Games. “Come revisit the world of Panem…starting on the morning of the reaping of the Tenth Hunger Games. Love, deception, pretence, friendship, betrayal, oppression and violence -it’s everything you’d expect of Suzanne Collins and contains the backstory of the ruthless President Snow. All the early years of the grim contest and all the corruption that influences the societies from which Collin’s characters are born.” So, it’s back to the roots of mocking jays and Capitol’s history…you won’t be disappointed!
