jen_kehlenbeck 's review for:
Sunrise on the Reaping
by Suzanne Collins
So this book basically ruined me.
I was instantly drawn back into the world of the hunger games and was both consumed by the nostalgic feelings, comforted by the writing and provoked by the story.
So many of the twists shocked me but also made complete sense. They were exactly what you'd imagined by the capital would do. Swapping bodies, killing entire families and punishing people in the most brutal way.
It was heartbreaking and made even more so by the fact that we known Haymitch's fate. Still we didn't know how he would win, the pain that would be inflected on him and how he fell into alcoholism.
The difference between how the capital depicted him, his legacy and the reality on his attempts to rebel were devastating. In many ways that felt the hardest part to read. We saw the propaganda machine in full and it even started to work in Haymitch who really lost hope amongst it all.
Luckily, the epilogue gave us back a sense of hope and reminded us that everything isn't over.
