He estat ben enganxada a la lectura, tot i saber com acabaria tot i tractant-se d'un llibre que replica el primer de la saga... Però realment és tot tan sàdic i tràgic, que no ho podia deixar. Ara bé, m'ha faltat un punt de trencament emocional, sobretot al final, que no m'ha arribat. Els personatges, inoblidables: em declaro des de ja fan de la Maysilee i, evidentment, en Haymitch es confirma que és el millor.

While it introduced another facet of the Capitol's brutality and gave us the backstory for several of the excellent side characters from the original series, being back in the Hunger Games arena felt like a retread over old ground.
I also felt like the choice to frame Haymitch's Hunger Games as being a not-quite-right time for revolution makes the progression of the original trilogy more confusing. What was so different about Katniss from her predecessors that she became a lightning rod for change? If anything, she seems less attuned to the power of spectacle and symbolism than Haymitch does in this book.
I think my tolerance for the brutal deaths of children may be waning, but if Suzanne Collins decides to explore another aspect of Panem, I would love to read it.

This is Lenore Dove’s work. Her sign. Her message to me now. Her reminder that I must prevent another sunrise on the reaping. And it says “You promised me.” With that, she condemns me to life.
Sunrise on the Reaping is a fluent read that expertly develops Haymitch’s character. Something that particularly impressed me about this book is how frequently and cleverly Collins subverts expectations and assumptions I had about its plot and that of the whole series. SotR shows us the true extent of collective trauma between many of the characters, adding much more depth to previous installments. Some of the character appearances did feel a bit fan service-y/gimmicky, but they definitely made me want to return to the original trilogy.
