seelyreads 's review for:

Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins
5.0
challenging dark emotional sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
I knew this would be hard. Seeing such a bright character turned into the Haymitch we all know and love. But this really was heartbreaking and darker than all the others. Showed more of the evil and torture the capital was willing to deal out for their ideas. Haymitch tried everything to go against those. And in return he lost everything. They gave him hope near enough to grasp and then let him feel it ripped from his fingers. All because he defied them. While I didn’t really connect with his character as much as Katniss, I felt his emotions much more strongly than hers. He really affected me. The end of this book was perfect and Suzanne Collin’s is so talented. It was so fun to be back in this world. These were some of the first books I ever read and so it was very Nostalgic. Overall I really loved this book so much and I will never look at Haymitch the same. I have a new respect for him that was never there before. I have thought about this book every day since I read it.
