Hi friends! A quick reminder not to post spoilers for "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes". The book isn't out in many countries yet, and won't be for another few weeks, so it's incredibly inconsiderate. Also, many of you have been asking when I'll make videos about it. I won't be making videos about it until the movie adaptation is released, as this firstly gives everyone time to buy and read the book, and secondly will allow us to use the secondary canon that is a movie to base ideas off of. Thank you and happy bubbles!
Charlie Keyzer same!!!! It is like so exciting my mom caved in and bought it we bought it on a good sale it was like 13 bucks from amazon it was a good deal especially for a preorder
It took me reading your comment to realise that. I don't know about you but I think I was caught up on the fact that I wasn't very interested in hearing about snow.
You never know! We haven't heard of Mags family so maybe a sibling or family member of hers is reaped and she is interviewed if they make it to the final 8! Unlikely but you never know 😂 I feel like this book isn't soly focused on just the 10th games, maybe we see more about snows upbringing later on in the book....
I don't think she will, at least I hope not. And I'm pretty sure a lot of cursed child was not even by JK Rowling but by two screen play writers and it is a screenplay
I personally don’t see why Cursed Child was such a flop. it’s a great story, great writing, but most of all, it’s made for the stage! so i don’t know why it was so bad, i personally really like it!
My theory is that Tigris was the stylist for district one specifically. It’s described in the book that her designs revolve around fur (fur coats, fur underwear, etc) and we can see in the first movie that Marvel and Glimmer’s chariot outfits both use fur prominently. We know that the escorts, stylists, and mentors tend to want to be assigned to higher number districts so it’s possible that Tigris got the honor of being stylist for district one because of her relationship to Snow.
So if Tigris is related to Snow and in Mockinjay they said anyone in the capital related to him dies, will Tigris die? Or will she live because she was on the renal side?
I know the rebels did execute a lot of high profile capitol people and victors who were procapitol but i didn’t know they were executing everyone related to Snow... does that mean his granddaughter too?
Okay this is gonna sound really weird but I just realised that if Tigris is 18 in this book, fast forward 64 years that would make her around 82 in mockingjay... idk something about that seems odd to me; Tigris in the movie does not look like she should be over the age of 60 at least! She might’ve had surgery to make her look younger but how far can surgery go to remove so many years off of someone (physically)??
Lisa Baron Well it’s mentioned that Caesar Flickerman is a lot older than he looks in the books. The Capitol has advanced anti-aging technology I guess.
if mags won the 11th hunger games then she’s probably around the same age as snow. mags looks like she’s in her 90’s, while snow looks barely a day over 55. i think it’s fair to assume the capitol has a highly successful anti-ageing industry.
I really hope you end up loving the book! I personally like the reveal of Tigris being Snow’s cousin but I also hope the author doesn’t water down the political aspects too much!
Since I’m early, I just wanted to say I love your content and it’s so entertaining. You always ask the questions nobody thought about but everyone wants the answers to! I love the hunger games too and your channel is a hidden gem.
I hope this is going to be like G.R.R. Martin's 'Fire and Blood' where it really goes in depth with the history and lore, and not just a fun prequel adventure story
I'm sooooooooooo excited for the new book and I'm glad that there are other people who are just as excited for it. I hope everyone stays healthy and safe!
i would like to see tigris and mags ( even thought she participates in the 11th Games, one year after the start of the book ) + i feel suzanne collins concentrated more on the movie than on the actual book, like u said i hope i am wrong, cause the first trilogy is a "genius-work" and magical, i strongly want the prequel to be like that ( basically a book-drug ) ... ;)
im am so keen to see the games from the perspective of the capitol because it like a whole new side of the story. Also i love your ideas they are so creative and your top its really nice too!
Snow and tigress being related could lead to some interesting conflict. Tigress could have buried her feeling about the hunger games because she loved her cousin that much. If we assume she always wanted to be a stylist and snow got her to be one that could also add to her confliction. After all how could her cousin be a monster when he was the one to get her the job she always wanted? The book could take the idea of them being related and make it so she is agenst the hunger games despite her relations rather then because of them.
Yeeeee new video!!! Can't wait to watch as I haven't seen this new spoiler yet Edit: finished watching it, and I have to say it be cool to see Tigris as a stylist in this new book. Personal I think she'd maybe get sent to style a different district rather then snows and maybe she's makes her tribute look better then snows and then he gets jealous. Maybe a small fire of hatred towards Tigris starts in this book!
I'm so excited for the new book. Snow being a mentor for district 12 will let us get to know effie a bit better as well. We'll know the social pressure they feel. Short prediction of ballad of songbirds and snakes: Snow mentors for the first time, falls in love with the hopeless girl from district 12 who will die in the final of the games. Snow is hurt for life and tries to become an influencer of the games. That way and with that that pain he eventually gets his way. Let's see after 2 weeks how right I am
I'm watching this after reading the book, but I've never read the excerpts - I read the book when it came out in my country. I actually liked it, even though I had low expectations because of so many negative reviews. :)
If I could just have a detailed book on other victor’s games I would die in peace. I am so interested in seeing how it all went down for them during the reaping, trainings, interviews, games and a little after. Please Suzanne 🤧🤧🤧
Really good job. 👍 I really Love the hunger games and hope the book it good you made very interesting points about the books being a family feud. Great job!😀
I'm so hyped for this book. I knew all along hunger games will have a prequel. As Finnick Odair said "And now, on to our good President Coriolanus Snow. Such a young man when he rose to power. Such a clever one to keep it. How you must ask yourself, did he do it? One word. That's all you really need to know. Poison."
I hope the book as well as focusing on the main story also goes into the depth with life before the war. Since snow would have been young then maybe we see his dad. I just wanna know what life was like before the hunger games!
I love how this prequel book is exploring more into the deep secrets of the Hunger Games universe. with so many people speculating about it, so many fanfics written, this book series could expand into something big like the marvel and dc universes . Because it's something so original made from something so realistic
When the Tributes from District 12 enter the arena, couldn’t they realistically choose there weapon of choice as a pickaxe? As there District Specialises on Coal mining when a tribute went in the arena with very good skills with a pickaxe this could give them a higher chance of progressing in the games and even winning! Like Johanna and here Axe
So the thing about 12 is that they don't get to work on the mines until there older like 18 as Gale was when he stated working in the mines.un like other districtas they don't get too work on what they specialize in
yeh, had they been able to wield a pickaxe from a younger age they could of used it or even a weapon like a heavy axe would feel somewhat comfortable when lifting.
Possible video topic: How big is the hunger games arena? I know it is inside a bio-dome, and remember in the first film the game maker having to turn Katniss around as she was over 2km away from the nearest tribute.
Yes I’m early! I’m looking to early purchase this book! Should I? Also how have you gained 2k+ subs in 2 weeks! Congrats! I’m 1 sub away from 500 and that’s take 7 months!
I’m very excited for these books because of all of the hype, I’m pretty sure an official map of Panem was also released, but I’m just worried that Lionsgate will have too much of an influence on the book. Not saying Lionsgate is bad in anyway, it’s just that I don’t want them to change up Suzanne’s writing.
I agree that I am less excited since these excerpts came out. I think you are right that it is just a lot of fan service. I really wish the new book was about Mags and the 11th HG. We would get to learn more about District 4 and it would still be early enough to learn about how the games evolved and developed. Would also have loved to have a backstory on Cinna. Or if there was a sequel to the HG to have it be about the woman in District 2 who falls in love with Gale in the future.
I agree; I hope that there won't be too many links between characters that didn't have those links in the main series. Those links could feel artificial. However, I don't think that this particular link reduces Tigris as a character. I believe that her support for the rebels stemmed already more from personal than political motivation. She seemingly didn't have a problem with being a famous stylist for the games and thereby supporting the regime. Her disgust for the regime seems to have started when she was fired and no longer profited from the regime. I think it can even add to the complexity of the book if characters are not only motivated by political reasons but also personal, or self-centered, reasons.
1st also you have gained 5k subs since i started watching also your the best and knowledgeable Please can you do a video about What if the hunger games was a simulation of The Present Day Goverment where he drugged them and put them in a simulation and they didnt actually die in the hunger games they were just brainwashed after the games and sent to another country or a small island.
I agree so far this does feel like fan fiction and realistically I don’t think it’ll be as good as the og trilogy (maybe I’ll be wrong and it’ll end up being my favorite book out of the bunch but that doesn’t seem likely) BUT as long it’s not as bad as Harry Potter and the Cursed Child I’ll be happy and enjoy it for what it is. Please Suzanne, don’t pull a cursed child 🙏🏻
I saw this theory that the girl reaped from district 12 for this upcoming book is somehow related to Madge and her token was the gold Mockingjay pin. Madge said that it was a family heirloom passed down through generations. Maybe that's why Snow was so intriuged with Katniss, he recognised the pin.
I've found various clashing statements about snows age. Apparently he's somewhere between him being 75 or 77 in the first book/movie which would make him between 1 and 3 when the first games started. So in the tenth games he wouldn't be any older 13, 14 max depending on the month. However he is 18 in the begging of the new book if I am correct, someone messed up the math.
I'm so excited for this new book and your video only makes it better! I'm actually quite excited about tigris but I must agree I don't want so many characters that we already know but Tigris could still have a good reason that is political.
The inclusion of Tigris hasn't deterred me from the book, as I don't want to judge it before I read it and I'm interested in her character. However, SuCol needs to be careful.I feel she's treading a very fine line in regards to how many characters she is connecting to one another. As you said, the appeal in the original series was how it wrote political injustice and motivation. If all the reasoning behind being anti-anyone is too emotional and personal, it just takes away from the story rather than adds to it. Regardless, I have pre-ordered and look forward to later this month! Keep up the good work.
Personally, I believe that this book is mainly being released to give a parallelism to katniss and snow and to ultimately show that they were like two sides of the same coin in a sense that they were both underdogs who overcame a tribulation and succeeded beyond their reach.
I believe that his tribute will win, in the first excerpt he mentions that this hunger games will either make him or brake him, and he later becomes president in the original books, we know that district 12 had 2 previous winners, haymich and another person who was already dead since katniss can remember. This means that the other victor had to have won before haymitch and died of either old age of sickness, (as no executions were mentioned), if she was a teenager in the 10th hunger games, she would have been between 76 - 82 which is very unlikely to be still alive in district 12.
I’m so excited for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes! Also thank you so much, you are definitely one of my favourite RUclips channels and I love all of your videos! They’re all so interesting to watch and honestly probably teach me more about book analysis than my English lessons 😂 Anyway, please don’t stop making videos! Please know that you are so inspiring (I know it sounds cliché) but tbh I wouldn’t have read thg books if I hadn’t come across your videos! Also I hope you don’t mind me asking but where are you from? There’s something about your voice and accent that is just so calming and tbh I could listen to it for ages! Ty for making these amazing videos 🥺🥰
Would you please do a video on what happens when more than one person volunteers? Like in the career districts there must be more than one man and woman who turn 18 and are then going to volunteer. How do they choose who gets to play the games?
Honestly this channel has everything: My sister doesn't like The hunger games and I do but she likes Harry Potter and i don't really like Harry Potter! Hahaha
Yay you posted this omg! Im so excited for the book! Also in the article for the second excerpt they said something about the District 12 girl saying "We know she won't win." Im so confused.. How would they know?
OMG wait, there is a new book!? I thought the trilogy was over! Yessss! After reading all the books over 5 times!!!! When is it going to be made into a movie? (If it is)
I have a video idea.. could you do a vid about katniss and peeta being mentors if the quell was different. Just kind of like how u think it would have gone and what they would have done. Hope u will consider my idea!! thanks
What do you think of the name of the District 12 girl? It was revealed to be "Lucy Gray". I think it has some connection to William Wordsworth's poem of the same name.
It hasn't been revealed, if you look at the "leak" there is no source, it was posted by a fan account, and the fan account in itself says not to believe this. Additionally, the names in Panem are all unusual names, Lucy Gray is an extremely common name
@@StoryDiver initially those were my same thoughts but it's definitely true. i've talked to two publishers about it and some chapters of the actual book have been leaked. i'm not going to share the leaked book because i think that would be disrespectful to SC, but i do know that the name is real
i feel like tyling for district 12 is especially hard because coal desnt really play into fashion very well. i think cina did a great job but if tigress has district 12 im excited to see what she would come up with
Something smart the capital could do to help out District 1 and 2 andddd 4 would be to ship off the people that commited a serious crime punishable by death to the career districts to be used as training so the career Tributes can actually kill something for experience
I love that you’re able to criticize a series that you like. I never like when people are just like “I like this series so I’m forced to like this and believe it’s perfect”
I have a video idea, l don't know if you have made one about this or not. What do you think would of happened if katniss had won the third quarterqual.
Like I said in the first analysis video, Collins has a history of adding things to her books for the sheer reason of "it's for the fans." This book sounds like it's just gonna bring it full circle and incorporate unrealistic elements into the prequel.

I volunteer as TRIBUTE same
I already preordered it; so excited!
Charlie Keyzer same!!!! It is like so exciting my mom caved in and bought it we bought it on a good sale it was like 13 bucks from amazon it was a good deal especially for a preorder
Why did I JUST only realise that we’re going to see inside the Capitol, and how cool that is?
mia and we’re also going to read the games from the capitols perspective
Charlie Keyzer Ikr, maybe the capitol see it way different than the districts (that’s dumb of course they do lmao)
dizzyxoxo what? I thought Haymitch is the only victor of D12 before Katniss ans Peeta.
@@JLeeminus haymitch is the only living Victor. But district 12 has had two victors in 74 years
It took me reading your comment to realise that. I don't know about you but I think I was caught up on the fact that I wasn't very interested in hearing about snow.
I just realized we probably are not gonna see mags because she won the 11th HG. And the new movie/book is in the 10th HG.
We don’t know how much time the new book spans over, nor if it’s the first of a series 😉
You never know! We haven't heard of Mags family so maybe a sibling or family member of hers is reaped and she is interviewed if they make it to the final 8! Unlikely but you never know 😂 I feel like this book isn't soly focused on just the 10th games, maybe we see more about snows upbringing later on in the book....
@@StoryDiver I think this will really be the last one of all. Although I would not hate lionsgate if they made a part 2😂😂😂
We might read and Easter egg of her though
@Cresi i read the book 4 months ago
I hope it’s not a flop like The Cursed Child from Harry Potter
Let’s hope!
yeah i really hope not
I don't think she will, at least I hope not. And I'm pretty sure a lot of cursed child was not even by JK Rowling but by two screen play writers and it is a screenplay
Same
I personally don’t see why Cursed Child was such a flop. it’s a great story, great writing, but most of all, it’s made for the stage! so i don’t know why it was so bad, i personally really like it!
If this book makes me feel bad for Snow, anything is possible.
Edit: gosh dangit. LOVE THIS BOOK THO
Really just really you had too do that
dizzyxoxo I’m in the middle of reading the book now thanks for spoiling
Actually in the original trilogy I respected Snow for his wits but now after this book I HATE HIM! I love Lucy Gray even more than Katniss and Peeta
Koli Barr if you’re in the middle of reading you should already know about Lucy Gray
@@ninjaproskills0077 actually i kinda like him more he's just stupid
My theory is that Tigris was the stylist for district one specifically. It’s described in the book that her designs revolve around fur (fur coats, fur underwear, etc) and we can see in the first movie that Marvel and Glimmer’s chariot outfits both use fur prominently. We know that the escorts, stylists, and mentors tend to want to be assigned to higher number districts so it’s possible that Tigris got the honor of being stylist for district one because of her relationship to Snow.
Omg u r so smart!
So if Tigris is related to Snow and in Mockinjay they said anyone in the capital related to him dies, will Tigris die? Or will she live because she was on the renal side?
Considering she rescued Katniss, it’s unlikely she’ll be executed
That’s a good point
I know the rebels did execute a lot of high profile capitol people and victors who were procapitol but i didn’t know they were executing everyone related to Snow... does that mean his granddaughter too?
Yes in the movie They wanted to kill people on Snows side and related Joanna agreed because she knew he had a granddaughter
Yes in the movie They wanted to kill people on Snows side and related Joanna agreed because she knew he had a granddaughter
Suzanne Collins Love's The Hunger games series it's like a child to her
Robert Speice thank god she does love it. She wrote the books so well, and I feel if she didn’t love them as much the books would be as good
Sophia Nowack just sadly not as much as we lived Finnick
Omg I just said that pls spare me
Okay this is gonna sound really weird but I just realised that if Tigris is 18 in this book, fast forward 64 years that would make her around 82 in mockingjay... idk something about that seems odd to me; Tigris in the movie does not look like she should be over the age of 60 at least!

Lisa Baron Well it’s mentioned that Caesar Flickerman is a lot older than he looks in the books. The Capitol has advanced anti-aging technology I guess.
It's the capitol anything is possible
i mean this is far into the future anything could be possible
if mags won the 11th hunger games then she’s probably around the same age as snow. mags looks like she’s in her 90’s, while snow looks barely a day over 55. i think it’s fair to assume the capitol has a highly successful anti-ageing industry.

After all how could her cousin be a monster when he was the one to get her the job she always wanted? The book could take the idea of them being related and make it so she is agenst the hunger games despite her relations rather then because of them.
Idea for your next spotlight characters: Effie Trinket, Clove, Marvel / Careers of the 74th games and the 75th games
I’ve already done them!
@@StoryDiver really oh XD I watched through your spotlight playlist and didn't see them, must've missed them 😂

I can not wait for this book. Aren’t they making a movie right after as well? It’d be interesting to see who they cast as a young Snow!
A movie has been announced yes
Story Diver ahhh I can’t wait! I love the Hunger Games universe so much, can’t wait to get more of it!
I'm really hoping that we get to see snow being a mentor so we can see something that haymitch went through and did better than anyone ever but still
I agree so far this does feel like fan fiction and realistically I don’t think it’ll be as good as the og trilogy (maybe I’ll be wrong and it’ll end up being my favorite book out of the bunch but that doesn’t seem likely) BUT as long it’s not as bad as Harry Potter and the Cursed Child I’ll be happy and enjoy it for what it is. Please Suzanne, don’t pull a cursed child 🙏🏻
Great video! I have a video idea: what if Peeta had died in the arena (Katniss could not save him) Ps I can’t wait for the new book!
Thank you! I’ll look into it!
Story Diver thanks!
I saw this theory that the girl reaped from district 12 for this upcoming book is somehow related to Madge and her token was the gold Mockingjay pin. Madge said that it was a family heirloom passed down through generations. Maybe that's why Snow was so intriuged with Katniss, he recognised the pin.
That seems very likely, but overly predictable
@@StoryDiver yea at this point all we can do is wait really.
I've found various clashing statements about snows age. Apparently he's somewhere between him being 75 or 77 in the first book/movie which would make him between 1 and 3 when the first games started. So in the tenth games he wouldn't be any older 13, 14 max depending on the month. However he is 18 in the begging of the new book if I am correct, someone messed up the math.
Collins has altered the timeline with this new book
Great Video love this
Thank you!
I'm so excited for this new book and your video only makes it better! I'm actually quite excited about tigris but I must agree I don't want so many characters that we already know but Tigris could still have a good reason that is political.
The inclusion of Tigris hasn't deterred me from the book, as I don't want to judge it before I read it and I'm interested in her character. However, SuCol needs to be careful.I feel she's treading a very fine line in regards to how many characters she is connecting to one another. As you said, the appeal in the original series was how it wrote political injustice and motivation. If all the reasoning behind being anti-anyone is too emotional and personal, it just takes away from the story rather than adds to it.
Regardless, I have pre-ordered and look forward to later this month!
Keep up the good work.
Personally, I believe that this book is mainly being released to give a parallelism to katniss and snow and to ultimately show that they were like two sides of the same coin in a sense that they were both underdogs who overcame a tribulation and succeeded beyond their reach.
I believe that his tribute will win, in the first excerpt he mentions that this hunger games will either make him or brake him, and he later becomes president in the original books, we know that district 12 had 2 previous winners, haymich and another person who was already dead since katniss can remember.
This means that the other victor had to have won before haymitch and died of either old age of sickness, (as no executions were mentioned), if she was a teenager in the 10th hunger games, she would have been between 76 - 82 which is very unlikely to be still alive in district 12.
Oh wow!!! i didnt know they have 2nd excerpt .....better check it out now😮😮😮
I’m so excited for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes! Also thank you so much, you are definitely one of my favourite RUclips channels and I love all of your videos! They’re all so interesting to watch and honestly probably teach me more about book analysis than my English lessons 😂
Anyway, please don’t stop making videos! Please know that you are so inspiring (I know it sounds cliché) but tbh I wouldn’t have read thg books if I hadn’t come across your videos! Also I hope you don’t mind me asking but where are you from? There’s something about your voice and accent that is just so calming and tbh I could listen to it for ages! Ty for making these amazing videos 🥺🥰
A book about The Heavansbee's and the underground rebel network formation and development would be excellent.
I really want to play Snow. All my friends say that I'm hot and obviously Snow has to be because that's how show biz works.
Would you please do a video on what happens when more than one person volunteers? Like in the career districts there must be more than one man and woman who turn 18 and are then going to volunteer. How do they choose who gets to play the games?
I have 😉
Story Diver oh thanks! Sorry I tried looking for it but didn’t see it, I’ll look again... excited to watch it!
Honestly this channel has everything: My sister doesn't like The hunger games and I do but she likes Harry Potter and i don't really like Harry Potter! Hahaha
i was gonna get the book on the 19th but it arives on the 22nd now.... :( love your vids
Thank you!
@@StoryDiver i love how your a youtuber who actually scrolls through the comment i only know a few youtubers that do that :)
Perhaps there was old money at an earlier time and the Snows inherited the penthouse. Dive safely.
It's very possible!
Who could be the new president of Panem besides Paylor, and what would the country look like?
Yay you posted this omg! Im so excited for the book! Also in the article for the second excerpt they said something about the District 12 girl saying "We know she won't win." Im so confused.. How would they know?
There’s a lot of fanfiction about these Games where a male wins. Unfortunately media outlets aren’t great at fact checking 😂
@@StoryDiver Oh lol!
OMG wait, there is a new book!? I thought the trilogy was over! Yessss! After reading all the books over 5 times!!!! When is it going to be made into a movie? (If it is)
that decoration in Tigris's shop is an easter egg
Can u do a character spotlight on ceaser flickerman please
I have!
You should do a video with explaining what happened to Cinna before he was a stylist
I have!
You have, that is so cool! I need to check it out! :)
hi can you do a video on what would happen if cashmer and gloss were the last two tributes in the quater quell considering they were siblings?
I have a video idea.. could you do a vid about katniss and peeta being mentors if the quell was different. Just kind of like how u think it would have gone and what they would have done. Hope u will consider my idea!! thanks
I have this idea noted down!
What do you think of the name of the District 12 girl? It was revealed to be "Lucy Gray". I think it has some connection to William Wordsworth's poem of the same name.
It hasn't been revealed, if you look at the "leak" there is no source, it was posted by a fan account, and the fan account in itself says not to believe this. Additionally, the names in Panem are all unusual names, Lucy Gray is an extremely common name
@@StoryDiver initially those were my same thoughts but it's definitely true. i've talked to two publishers about it and some chapters of the actual book have been leaked. i'm not going to share the leaked book because i think that would be disrespectful to SC, but i do know that the name is real
i am very exicted for the book to arive in the male but i rly want there to be a book on peetas point of view when he was tortured
i feel like tyling for district 12 is especially hard because coal desnt really play into fashion very well. i think cina did a great job but if tigress has district 12 im excited to see what she would come up with
Tigris is related to president snow
Something smart the capital could do to help out District 1 and 2 andddd 4 would be to ship off the people that commited a serious crime punishable by death to the career districts to be used as training so the career Tributes can actually kill something for experience
Wait a minute your shirt meerrrchhhh
Yup! You can find a link in the description box 😉
I love that you’re able to criticize a series that you like. I never like when people are just like “I like this series so I’m forced to like this and believe it’s perfect”
Having a critical mind is important!
I simply must have one of those shirts!!
You can find the link to my teespring in the description box 😉
Story Diver, thank you!
I have a video idea, l don't know if you have made one about this or not. What do you think would of happened if katniss had won the third quarterqual.
I'll look into it!
Does anyone know where to find the second excerpt?
I’ve linked it in the description!
Story Diver thank you :)
I feel like Tigris mentors the first district 12 tribute and that’s why snow has beef since his tribute DOES NOT WIN
My theory is still that the first District 12 victor won in the 10th Hunger Games.
Patrick Buckley in the hunger games wiki it says that its a tribute from 2
I never got the idea from the original book that Tigris was as old as Snow. Have you started reading it yet?
I don't have the new book yet, real life has taken precedence unfortunately!
Like I said in the first analysis video, Collins has a history of adding things to her books for the sheer reason of "it's for the fans." This book sounds like it's just gonna bring it full circle and incorporate unrealistic elements into the prequel.
Where can we find the second excerpt?
I’ve linked it in the description!
