Collins writes this book so amazingly that it makes TBOSAS seem like a high schooler's first book. The drama and symbolism is dropping from the first page, you can feel Haymitch's hatred and disgust (and eventually self-loathing and trauma) in every word he says ans feels.

Well done Collins.

Oh my god. I felt like I was 12 and reading the hunger games for the first time again. I knew what was gonna happen but I didn't know it was gonna happen like that!!!!. It was a slow start but towards the end it hit you with the sucker punch of emotions that completely shattered he especially with the epilogue and how haymich talked about katniss. Was broke my heart completely at wellie's death. Fuck it hurt man

This book made me cry

Honestly nostalgia aside this book hits hard if you let it. It forces you to see the charecters as complex, broken, and flawed. You truly get to see how special the OG trilogy was to get the results it did. 
It also hits hard in the context of everything going on and honestly makes me feel guilty of how little I'm doing.

This one WRECKED me. I had to hold off on finishing the audiobook until I wasn’t driving because I started sobbing in traffic for Haymitch and all he lost. Of the original trilogy as well as Songbirds and Snakes, Sunrise On Reaping is has left me feeling the most melancholy.
