Similar to the Ballad, Sunrise on the Reaping feels like a love letter to fans of the original Series. There are tons of easter eggs and throwaway lines that connect the books together. However, those easter eggs slightly cheapen the book in my opinion and is really the main criticism of the book. Otherwise, it felt like I was plunged straight back into the Hunger Games, following Haymitch as he fights to survive against all odds.
