‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’ Character Breakdown
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins is about Coriolanus Snow and him being assigned a female tribute for the 10th annual Hunger Games. It is a completely different perspective than we are used to because it’s more focused on Snow and the impression of Lucy Gray Baird from District 12.
Whether you’re new to the franchise or gearing up to watch the film adaptation, we’re here to give you a full character breakdown to refresh your memory. If you love The Hunger Games, join our discord to discuss with other book lovers!
