the ballad of songbirds and snakes

I would have put money on there being a big fandom revival for The Hunger Games with Suzanne Collins publishing a prequel (and a pretty good one too, even if it did drag in some parts). Especially since everyone seems to think fondly of Suzanne Collings/THG; there was never a big polarization or backlash. Maybe no one wanted to read dystopia rn, which I get.
