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.

Para empezar, es increíble cómo estos libros nunca dejan de ser buenos. La historia de Haymitch ha sido las más pedida de la saga y no solo no ha defraudado, sino que ha dejado una marca que dudo que desaparezca en los lectores. Ya sabíamos que Haymitch era un personaje complejo, pero poder levantar el telón que tapaba su historia y descubrir el por qué ha sido un proceso digno de vivir. Con el corazón encogido y sabiendo lo que te espera en la última página, eso sí.
Me impresiona todas las veces cómo los libros de LJdH son ladrillos físicamente y se leen con una velocidad pasmosa. Suzanne es la maestra de capturar la atención de los espectadores y no soltarla hasta que ha dicho todo lo que tenía que decir. Aplauso (o mejor dicho, ovación) a la traducción, que nunca defrauda y siempre consigue darle un toque especial a esta saga. Trabajo titánico por parte de las dos profesionales.
"Amanecer en la cosecha" tiene muchas papeletas para ser el Libro del Año y siendo sincera, el puesto es más que merecido.

However, I disliked the connections drawn between himself and Katniss. I think their relationship is stronger if she's just some random girl that he had no reason to love and support.
Also, this book made me hate Plutarch and Beetee. They can go straight to hell for what they did to Haymitch.
Ultimately, I'm not really sure what the point of this book was. A statement about propaganda, yes, but we already got that in the first 3 THG books.
