however, snow i liked/hated. i thought he might have been redeemable but he really just wasn’t. his pov was so intense and crazy. after reading SOTR i genuinely cannot believe he turned out the way he did. i can but cant. he turned so evil, but at the same time i knew what he was capable of and so did he, he just wanted to hide it. once he became a peacekeeper i was like oh my god i will never forgive you.

the peacekeeper part was so so bad, it made me sick. OMG and sejanus’s end in 12 made me cry, i loved sejanus. and i hate that snow backstabbed him. lucy gray and sejanus i am so sorry guys, my two favorite characters. the capitol people make me sick.

i loved lucy so much, i have so much reverence for her. i fully supported her in every aspect of the book. and i choose to believe she’s alive somewhere, but i don’t know. i really liked the song she made and how we have to figure out what her ending fate is. her persona carried the book, and i had such deep empathy for her.

okay so i finished the book but i forgot to give a full review. i honestly reallyy loved the book but i think it should have been divided in two: it was sooo long. i enjoyed it more at certain points, and its longevity made it hard to stay intrigued. collin’s is such a writer though and her character building of snow and lucy made me love love this book.

8/8/26 ohhhh my god. i finally finished and i feel sick and ill. that ending between lucy and snow was CRAZYYY. he’s so selfish. and dean scene during the EPILOGUE. oh my god. the sejanus part was so sad too oh my. so many emotions. i read these last 75 pages in the last 2 hours or so and that was just insane. rollercoaster of emotions. snows buildup in character was so sad to see.

they have chemistry, they get each other, but i think at the end coriolanus will become someone unimaginable that will drive him and lucy apart. i think something is going to happen between them, to her, that will make her disappear and no one will ever know, just like her song.

the complications between him and lucy are finally occurring. they’re so similar but at the same time not, even if Coriolanus is sensitive and caring he’ll always be capitol and arrogant. even if he has suffered from the war he will never understand district struggle, and he does not want to. this is the underlying issue in his infatuation with lucy because at the end, she is not who he wants her to be.

it’s crazy to think that all the pain, struggle, and hunger district kids have felt so has coriolanus, but the life he makes out of it does not resemble empathy: he relishes and invokes capitol behavior when it’s useful to him and that’s the worst part of his character. there’s moments where i’m like “man poor guy” but then he says something or thinks something INSANE that pulls me back from sympathy.

i am almost done, like in the last 100 pages as we speak. however i feel like this book is soooo long, i feel like i’ve been reading this forever (because i have; self induced). i actually like that coriolanus is a peacekeeper and all the things that happen to him i think will be a life lesson, but only contribute to the horrific man he becomes in the hunger games original series.

BUT his inner psyche is very problematic nevertheless. although his experience as a child in the capitol is very interesting and shows the complexity of children in panem since he obviously is not living a promised lavish life, but that not does diminish his privilege. i think we see more about how careless the govt is in panem and how propaganda is ruinous to society. thank you!

even if he is capitol born, there is something different about him but ultimately we know his end fate as capitol snow. his empathetic portrayals are very powerful and poignant to the plot. when he shares his trauma and experiences from the war and thereafter poverty his humility resurfaces. those confessions make him the most human to me and i forget he’s a capitol citizen in those moments.
