Cada vez que hay un libro nuevo de LJdH siento que es porque estamos pasando por alto un acontecimiento social importante y que Suzanne Collins nos quiere dar un toquecito de atención.
Para empezar, es increíble cómo estos libros nunca dejan de ser buenos. La historia de Haymitch ha sido las más pedida de la saga y no solo no ha defraudado, sino que ha dejado una marca que dudo que desaparezca en los lectores. Ya sabíamos que Haymitch era un personaje complejo, pero poder levantar el telón que tapaba su historia y descubrir el por qué ha sido un proceso digno de vivir. Con el corazón encogido y sabiendo lo que te espera en la última página, eso sí.
Me impresiona todas las veces cómo los libros de LJdH son ladrillos físicamente y se leen con una velocidad pasmosa. Suzanne es la maestra de capturar la atención de los espectadores y no soltarla hasta que ha dicho todo lo que tenía que decir. Aplauso (o mejor dicho, ovación) a la traducción, que nunca defrauda y siempre consigue darle un toque especial a esta saga. Trabajo titánico por parte de las dos profesionales.
"Amanecer en la cosecha" tiene muchas papeletas para ser el Libro del Año y siendo sincera, el puesto es más que merecido.

Beautiful. It's a retcon dream, fitting well with the previous books and reconciling with the characters we already know.  There's so many little Easter eggs I'm sure there will be more on re- read.  It also makes me want to re- read the other books to experience them in light of this new content.  It's such a a touching story in itself and Collins has still got that sad, heart wrenching magic.

I loved this book! I'm only not giving it 5 ⭐ because I think it felt a little too much like the first Hunger Games. I understand how it would have a similar plot structure and beats but it felt so similar with the younger tribute and 2 teaming up. But over all I loved getting to see Haymitch's story and more of Snow pre Hunger Games.

There’s nothing quite like a Hunger Games novel to rip out your heart and start a fire in your soul. 
Poor Haymitch. :(
