yes, here's another review of the ballad of songbirds and snakes (spoiler free)

Okay so I finally finished the book and I have no one to talk to about this one question I keep having and can't find an answer online and I would like to get an idea from someone else. Do you think it was purposeful for Suzanne Collins to make the national anthem of Panem different in "Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" than what it was in the "Hunger Games" movies? (and yes I know they never mentioned the national anthem at all in the books until "Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes")

omg WHAT i had no clue that was a thing?? clearly i didn't pay attention enough. Also, idk if Suzanne Collins would've had any say for the movies so maybe she disregarded that when she wrote The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Do you think it's significant to the plot though?

I was really looking forward to reading this one when it first came out. I tried the audio book and it was just not engaging so I did DNF the book 😔

I completely understand this! I was excited to re-visit the world and see what Collins would have to offer but it fell flat. Honestly, I was surprised that I managed to finish it.
