Sunrise on the Reeping is one of the strongest books in Suzanne's arsenal, if you ask me. I love how interconnected Haymich's story is with the other stories without taking away from his story or making the connections feel forced. And a lot of questions raised in the other books find their answers cleverly worked into this book. Suzanne's worldbuilding is one of her greatest strengths and this book showed just how capable she is. 

A note to those who it might affect: if infant loss is a trigger for you, tread lightly. It's not a main plot point or described in a disrespectful or graphic, but it could be something that could be jarring to someone who is dealing with that more than the other deaths in this series.

This book is devastating in the best possible way. I already had some empathy for Haymitch, and have even more now.

Devastating, enthralling, and beautifully-written. Another home run. I finished the last half in 24 hours and was left crying in a creperie. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

This book is predictable, but with a full series & a prequel it makes sense it's written to connect an insane amount of plotlines & themes. And it's heartbreaking & beautiful (especially given our current political situation) an easy but impactful read!
