- Excerpt: The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is a solid addition to the series, strengthening its foundation with Blyth’s unexpected turn as Snow and its ongoing world-building.

- Excerpt: A prequel to the four-film series that provides the origin story for the evil ruler of Panen.
- Derek Deskins @ Edge Media Network
- Excerpt: Populated with captivating characters, entertaining performances, and exciting action, it succeeds more than it misses on a far shorter timeframe than its predecessors. However, when it attempts to be meaningful to the larger “Hunger Games” universe, it struggles, feeling rushed and empty.

- Excerpt: Adaptations, particularly those based on books that primarily use inner dialogue, are difficult and although this picture hits all the novel’s major events, there is definitely something lost in translation, which could in turn leave some viewers in the dark.

- Excerpt: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes proves that there are many more stories that can be mined from the Hunger Games universe and I for one hope that they are told.
