This book is so timely. Looking around our world, we see a people who no longer want God anywhere near. We want to be in charge of everything even if it means trampling those around us.
This book is that, to the nth degree.
After the war, the Hunger Games were begun to keep the Districts in their place and under the thumb of the Capitol. Coriolanus Snow is out to save himself and his family's name. Coryo finds himself in a position to do just that when he is selected to be a mentor for the tribute from District 12 who is one of 24 "contestants" in the Games.
He needs to help Lucy Gray win so he can, as the saying goes about snow, "land on top."
The trouble is, he falls for Lucy Gray.
But Lucy Gray is no innocent tribute. She brings her own needs to the games and her own desire to land on top.
What a web gets woven.
As you read this book, look at the world around you and see the parallels. Ask yourself, "Who needs to be on top?"

My answer: Christ.
Or we all go the way of the Games.
