Took a pretty long time to get into the arena, but it gets you pretty attached to the characters. You come into this book knowing how it'll end-- but it's still gut punch after gut punch getting there. A good read, especially after having listened to the first 3 books somewhat recently

Suzanne Collins is great. I really enjoyed this retelling of Haymitch’s Hunger Games. I really enjoyed the elements that were tied in from A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and the original The Hunger Games trilogy. 

Katniss being the daughter of Haymitch’s old best friend was really special. 
Haymitch’s games were brutal. He experienced so much loss. The theme of implied submission and his fight against that, the consequences of losing everyone he loved, and then giving up was really compelling. His friendship with Ampert, BeeTee’s son from district 3, and the climax of that friendship, where Haymitch was unable to stop Ampert from being completely devoured by carnivorous squirrels was horrifying. 
Mags and Wiress being his mentors was bittersweet, especially given the way they were clearly broken by the Capitol in response to the role they played in undermining the games.

Wees voorbereid op emotionele schade! Dit boek heeft me gesloopt! Je krijgt zoveel empathie voor Haymitch en zoveel afkeer richting Snow. Ik heb het echt met Haymitch te doen! En ondanks de emotionele schade ben ik Suzanne Collins dankbaar voor dit boek. Voor de achtergrond van Haymitch's doen en laten in de oorspronkelijke trillogie.

I loved Sunrise on the Reaping. It’s a phenomenal prequel into Haymitch’s story that does a really good job discussing authoritarianism, trauma, grief and addiction and the intersections of these. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for a narrative, quick read and don’t mind an incredibly sad, but poetic ending.

Oh my god. I’m left speechless. I was probably naive for having hope, for believing that Haymitch and Lenore would have some kind of happy end. Girl I was wrong in so many ways. My hate for Snow doubled. But definitely worth a read.
