BTW, speaking of The Hunger Games: have you heard about the prequel? It's been announced that it'll center around Snow, and I've seen a lot of people up in arms about this. I can't say I agree -putting aside that I don't think there's anything wrong with writing from the POV of a villain, it feels waaaaaaay too early to criticise the book for being "apologist", you know? Besides, if I trust someone to give politically relevant commentary in YA, it's Suzanne Collins. Not to mention readers have enough critical thinking to recognize what Snow became, IMO.
