This book does a fantastic job bridging the gap between aBoSaS prequel and the Hunger Games series, showing how we got from point A to point B without over explaining. Miss Collins delivers information so beautifully without spoonfeeding the reader.

President Snow is back in control and just as terrifying. There’s plenty of fan service, but it’s handled well, with nods to both the original trilogy and the Ballad. It made me want to reread the whole series. Like Ballad, this book weaves in folk songs. It’s also fascinating to see how the Capitol’s propaganda and technology keep evolving.
The ending is brutal, and the epilogue is bittersweet. I appreciated that the story chose a sad ending over a neat, happy one.

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.
