The odds are against him. He’s been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined — every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute . . . and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.

Nice additional background to the Hunger Games

Here's the important part: It all makes (some kind of) sense.

The story in this book, the people and how they are described, it all fits well enough with what we already know through the three main books. There's surpises, of course - why would you want to read a book without? But it makes sense, AND it's a good read with Collin's usual writing style.

Personally I loved it. There were moments that bore me sure, but they were short-lived before the book pulls me in again laser focused because the story gives you that edge-of-your-seat feeling. I wish there were more to the ending and I wish there more pages to this book. I can't wait to watch this book in theatres!
