Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins

4.0

adventurous challenging tense fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book is a quick, fun, fast-paced read with dark undertones. Even knowing the ending going in, the scene-by-scene tension keeps you going. It’s incredibly reminiscent of my first time reading the original HG (which I read as an angsty teenager who was here for the *edge*). Reading this as an adult (*in this society*) though, the sheer brutality and sadism of the capital just…hits different? Sadder? I would classify THG as a relatively fun read everything considered, but this feels like a warning.

Only reason for giving 4⭐️ is that I reserve 5⭐️ for those rare books that rock my world. I don’t have any specific issues with SOTR
