A review by brynpemery
Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins

dark emotional tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? Yes

3.5

I devoured the hunger games books as a teen but don’t really gravitate to YA or dystopia now, so this was just fine for me. It did a good job of doing what it set out to do, but if my book club hadn’t picked this I’m not sure I’d have read it.
