My favorite book in the series!

Revisado: 12-03-24

I loved the story but despised the narrator! I'm almost stopped listening so mamy times. it was often painful
to listen to. Overall, I'm glad i powered through but maybe consider just reading this one.

I absolutely adored this book!

Revisado: 10-11-22

I adored everything about this book! the story, the author's writing style, the main characters sarcasm, the narrator! it was all fantastic! from the opening paragraph I knew I would enjoy it. it reeled me in that quickly and held me there to the end! I haven't enjoyed a book this much in a LONG time!

I bought this book because I wanted to hear the continuation of the story after yelliw crocus. However, I really came to struggle with the accuracy of the story which I feel is vital when writing a historical novel. I'm sure none of us like to see our hero or heroine do things in a time period that would be frowned upon now, but I really question that there wasn't a bit more of a racial divide between the characters. Jordan especially felt more like a time traveler as she was seemingly unaware of the racial injustice of the time. though I understand she may not understand the extent of it, it's hard to believe it completely disappeared a few hundred miles away. finally and perhaps most annoying was the multi faceted and complex conversations that Lizbeth had with her children. I really struggled to believe that children so young would have been capable of these kind of conversations, questions and nuances within her family dynamic. And I would have much preferred some reconciliation and healing in the relationships than the blatant us vs them attitude. so much was also hinted at but left unsaid, Julianne's pain from trying to fill a role that couldn't be filled. her father's regrets.Her mother's insecurity. so many loose ends.. I completely understand after having read yellow crocus wanting to continue, But maybe check with the library before wasting on credit on it.

I really loves this book.

the story was captivating, if not a little predictable but I thoroughly enjoyed listening, laughing and crying with the characters. the narrator did an awesome job. Her different voices for the characters really brought them to life.

What was the point?

Revisado: 04-07-21

Though the stories did capture me i just failed to see the overall point. I really wanted to like the book but it just seemed like a waste of time by the end.

I love these books!

Revisado: 09-21-20

These books are amazing and so thought provoking, especially with the current events in our world. I read them many years ago but relistened after A tale of Songbirds and Snakes was released. I wish I could give it 5 starts but My one complaint was with the narrator. Everything about her voice is just wrong. I truly wish they would have stuck with the narrator from catching fire who I felt truly emodies Katniss and sounds around the same age as well. It didnt stop me from continuing the story but if I had to do it again I think I would just read them so I didn't have her voice grating on my nerves..

what an awful depressing story

Revisado: 12-11-19

This is my second book by this author and I really struggle with his writing style. the overuse of the word "and" and the stringing together of so many sentences make me a bit crazy. Overall I really wanted to enjoy the book, I did like the storytelling of the main characters was interesting but it was just depressing. The extended network of the two main characters are rather awful and leave you with a less than pleasant outlook on humanity.
