ReviewsPraise for The Hunger Games : "I couldn't stop reading." -- Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly "The Hunger Games is amazing." -- Stephenie Meyer"Brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced." -- John Green, New York Times Book Review Praise for Catching Fire : "Whereas Katniss kills with finesse, Collins writes with raw power." -- Time Magazine "Collins expertly blends fantasy, romance and political intrigue." -- People Magazine Praise for Mockingjay : "Fans will be happy to hear that Mockingjay is every bit as complex and imaginative as Hunger Games and Catching Fire." -- Entertainment Weekly "Suspenseful... Collins' fans, grown-ups included, will race to the end." -- USA Today "At its best the trilogy channels the political passion of 1984, the memorable violence of A Clockwork Orange , the imaginative ambience of The Chronicles of Narnia and the detailed inventiveness of Harry Potter." -- New York Times Book Review "Unfolding in Collins' engaging, intelligent prose and assembled into chapters that end with didn't-see-that-coming cliffhangers, this finale is every bit the pressure cooker of its forebears. [ Mockingjay ] is nearly as shocking, and certainly every bit as original and thought-provoking, as The Hunger Games . Wow." -- Los Angeles Times * "This concluding volume in Collins's Hunger Games trilogy accomplishes a rare feat, the last installment being the best yet, a beautifully orchestrated and intelligent novel that succeeds on every level." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review

SynopsisThe Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will revisit the world of Panem sixty-four years before the events of The Hunger Games , starting on the morning of the reaping of the Tenth Hunger Games., 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. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute... and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.
