i gobbled up the ballad of songbirds and snakes in one day (shhh i know im like 5 years late to the party) and may i say ms collins can do nothing wrong in my eyes.
#liveblogging life#snow is such a deliciously unreliable narrator. his self-justification of his own cruelty and amorality are WILD.#also i loveeeeed lucy gray. loveeeed all the easter eggs and connections to the original trilogy.#loved the worldbuilding and depth but that collins still remained staunchly in treating thg narrative overall as allegory#i also just really love it when authors can write villains who are really and truly convinced they are the sympathetic protags#like snow truly believes he is a good person. he wholeheartedly thinks he's doing the right thing. fucking nuts!#and he's that much scarier for it tbh. love it. fantastic#also remember that one tweet about how we should judge neil gaiman more bc he writes such emapthetic stories#bc it shows he DOES know empathy but he still did horrendous things?#for the same reason having snow's family be poor and starving was SUCH a gutkick#like he knows what it's like! he knows how hard it is! and yet he'll still inflict it on others. evil. very very evil.#anyway. i love this series with all my heart and suzanne collins is a true queen#thg#i will say i immediately watched the movies and while i loved hearing the songs. otherwise the movie fell flat to me#i think this one is just kind of a harder one to adapt bc it relies SO heavily on snow's inner world#katniss' did as well... but since her worldview isn't as warped it's easier to translate#whereas i do think snow's story is almost impossible to parse w/o being in his head or hearing a voiceover or s/t
