The story opens with teenage Haymitch, living with his mother and younger brother Sid in District 12. He’s in love with Lenore Dove, a rebellious Covey girl with a poetic soul (yes, she’s a nod to "The Raven"). Haymitch is reaped under unjust circumstances after an act of protection gone wrong—and what follows is a heart-pounding descent into the 50th Hunger Games.
This book is a masterclass in tension, grief, and rebellion. Haymitch is caught between the conformity he’s been raised with and the whisper of resistance, inspired by both Lenore and his late father. As fans already know his fate, the emotional weight of each choice hits even harder. And the ending? Devastating, yet beautifully crafted.
I adored the entire cast—from sweet Louella and Lou Lou to the sharp-edged Maysilee. And Collins fills the pages with subtle nods to the original series—connections to Katniss, tributes, Capitol corruption—that had me gasping and grinning in equal measure.
This prequel is action-packed, emotional, and deeply satisfying. Whether you're a Hunger Games superfan or just love smart, gripping YA fiction with themes of justice, sacrifice, and survival—Sunrise on the Reaping belongs on your TBR pile.
