Background[edit]
This prequel begins on the morning of the 50th anniversary of the reaping of The Hunger Games and takes place during the Second Quarter Quell. For this upcoming novel Collins was inspired by Scottish philosopher David Hume, specifically his ideas of implicit submission and 'the easiness with which the many are governed by the few' which is comparable to her inspirations for The Hunger Games trilogy, namely Greek and Roman mythology.[3]
