This book really was fantastic. I don’t really enjoy many prequels in a series but I really loved this one, it added more depth to the storyline as a whole and I got to learn so much more about characters that I’ve been wondering about for a long time. It’s really cool to learn about characters in their younger years and how everyone came to know each other. Very emotional and sad, I have so much more of a soft spot for Haymitch after reading this.

I knew how this story was going to end but it still broke me anyway. Collin’s writing must contain some sort of drug because I couldn’t stop reading.

It took me a while to finish this book because it was making me depressed. The themes were hitting a little too close to home with our current political climate. But this is an amazing book. I loved all the callbacks and nods to the previous books, especially to The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Sunrise on the Reaping perfectly shows how Haymitch went from a normal teen to the cold-hearted drunk we met in The Hunger Games.

It also perfectly shows the seeds being planted for the rebellion in Catching Fire and Mockingjay. You can tell how much they learned from Haymitch's attempts and planned better for when the time came. While reading I couldn't help but be in awe of how many parallels existed between Haymitch and Katniss. They both made money doing something illegal. They weren't actually reaped. They both received rare scores. Haymitch told Katniss and Peeta pretty much the exact advice that Wiress gave him for surviving.

These games have some horrifying and heartbreaking deaths, probably because we actually know the characters better. I cried while reading this, prepare yourself accordingly.
