stumbled across a ballad of songbirds and snakes critique video and I couldn't even watch it because the person so did not get what the book was doing and saying and the comments were complaining about the unnecessary romance when it's super obvious it's not intended to be a romance. suzanne collins is, yet again, ahead of her time because I remember the hate mockingjay got when it came out for killing prim and having katniss vote for new hunger games when those plot points are crucial and are meant to act as a commentary

#tbosbas #thg #i am and forever will be a ballad of songbirds and snakes defender #i firmly think that is suzanne collins' most cleverly crafted hunger games book #everything about it impresses me #the narrators voice being so different from katniss' reveals something about the writing that has me in awe #one criticism the trilogy got was the writing was too simple #and it's easy to assume this is just collins' style #until you read tbosbas and realize oh shit no she's just really good at writing voice #(which if you're a writer you'll know how hard it is to make your own style dissapear when trying to write voice)#also as a writer myself #I'm so tired of the criticism of ''why did she write about snow when she could have written about [insert any fan favorite character]''#because honestly i can understand if you're not interested in reading about snow #but to act like you're then entitled to a story of your choosing and suzanne collins shouldn't have a say in what she writes??#god that bothers me #i feel like readers forget that writers don't always write with an audience in mind #and that while you can be displeased about an author you enjoy going in a direction you aren't interested in reading #you don't have a say in how they choose to explore their creativity
