The excerpt offers a glimpse of what’s to come in the book: the origin story of President Coriolanus Snow. It offers insights into Snow’s life, specifically the surprising fact that he and his family came from more humble beginnings.

He’s clearly not the villain we know … yet.

Coming nearly a decade after Mockingjay, the book is expected to be a massive hit. Lionsgate, who produced and created the Hunger Games films that starred Jennifer Lawrence, has already announced that a film adaptation of Songbirds and Snakes is underway.
