During this time period, the vast majority of characters we know and love from the Hunger Games films were not born, so we can rule out coming across too many familiar faces. The prequel takes place 10 years after the unsuccessful First Rebellion and opens on the eve of the reaping for the 10th official Hunger Games. Immediately after the demolition of the First Rebellion, the infamous Treaty of Treason was instituted, which in turn established the tribute system along with the Hunger Games battle royale competition. The First Rebellion is known to have taken place 75 years before the events of ‘The Hunger Games’ and the subsequent Second Rebellion.
The war ended when District 13 betrayed the rest of the districts in exchange for their own freedom and allowed the Capitol to crush the remnants of the rebellion. In case you’ve forgotten your ‘Hunger Games’ lore, the First Rebellion was a bloody civil war between the tyrannical Capitol and the 13 districts of Panem for their freedom. The Dark Days detail life in the 12 districts of Panem after the collapse of the First Rebellion. The new book is set 64 years before the events of the Katniss Everdeen trilogy, during the reconstruction period known as the Dark Days in the country of Panem.
‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’ comes more than a decade after the release of the original ‘The Hunger Games’. The reconstruction period ten years after the war, commonly referred to as the Dark Days-as the country of Panem struggles back to its feet-provides fertile ground for characters to grapple with these questions and thereby define their views of humanity.” In the words of Suzanne Collins herself, “With this book, I wanted to explore the state of nature, who we are, and what we perceive is required for our survival. The new prequel ‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’ tells the story of the early days of the Games in the aftermath of a civil war.
