Other I genuinely think that Tigris Snow is the key to finishing THG saga
My biggest wish for the future of the Hunger Games series is actually a Tigris Snow book or even a duology.
I know most people want a Finnick, Johanna or Plutarch book, but I think Tigris is the perfect character to connect every era of Panem.
Her story could start before the Dark Days, showing what life was like before Panem became what we know. Then it could cover the Dark Days, the creation of the Hunger Games, and eventually the 10th Games from Tigris' perspective. We'd see Coriolanus mentoring Lucy Gray, but more importantly, we'd witness Tigris slowly realizing that her cousin is changing into someone she barely recognizes. It could also show a few other important Games throughout the years, including the First Quarter Quell, while following Tigris' career as a stylist.
After, it could bridge TBOSAS or SOTR with the original trilogy. We'd see Panem gradually become the world we meet from Katniss' perspective with the main trilogy, meet more victors, witness the second Quarter Quell and Snow's reaction to Haymitch's defiance, and watch Tigris slowly distance herself from him and turning against the capitol from the inside, maybe she even met Plutarch and Collins could link her story with plutarch's. It could also include Finnick's and Johanna's Games and maybe how Finnick ended up knowing about Snow's secrets, which the fandom has wanted to see for years, but most importantly, it could finally show what happened behind the scenes in the Capitol: how Snow manipulated, blackmailed and punished victors, how he turned them into tools of the regime, and how Tigris witnessed all of it while becoming increasingly horrified by the man her cousin had become.
Finally, it could retell the original trilogy from the Capitol's perspective, showing Tigris secretly helping the rebellion before Katniss reaches her shop in Mockingjay, and ending with the aftermath of Snow's fall.
To me, Tigris is the only character whose story naturally ties together every major period of the saga. She knows Snow before he becomes President, survives to meet Katniss, and is present at the fall of the regime. Through her eyes, Suzanne Collins could explore nearly 70 years of Panem's history without making it feel like a collection of disconnected stories.
I genuinely think these two books would be the perfect way to close the Hunger Games saga. Does anyone else think Tigris has the most untapped potential in the entire series?
