Literally loved this franchise and Suzanne Collins has this talent for weaving these characters together beautifully. Will update with more thoughts as I collect myself.

Almost speechless, honestly. How harrowing, chilling, revealing, unsettling, intriguing and captivating this novel is. For those who have already read the other four books in the Hunger Games series, this is an urgent must. Not only does the unraveling of Haymitch’s games answer questions and explain much of what happens later - but they establish such a fundamental understanding of his character and motives from there on out. Filled with poetic justice, subtle references, sweet side plots, satisfying Easter eggs and more - this is a shining “poster” on Collins’ wall.

In line with the level of content in other Hunger Games novels. Contextually graphic and severe. Vibrant descriptive imagery.

Wow, Suzanne Collins does it again. Her storytelling is incredibly compelling. In the current environment, this book (while excruciatingly tragic) is well needed. Sunrise on the Reaping demonstrates the power and pain of resistance, and it focuses in on the fact that revolution can take decades of action- big and small. This one will stay with me.

suzanne collins the writer that you are 😫

a book that shows rebellions don’t just start with one person and sometimes it takes years for those results. i could go on and on about my thoughts but i fear them being unintelligible screaming right now because i love this series so much ahh
