peachybee53 's review for:

Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins
5.0
adventurous dark emotional inspiring mysterious reflective tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Haymitch's story is every bit as intoxicating as reading the Hunger Games for the first time. Urgent, rebellious and fearless, he refuses to go down without a fight. The focus on the undercurrent uniting the districts offers a great reminder of who the real enemy is. I absolutely devoured this book.

Favourite quotes:

"Don't let them paint their posters with your blood."

"Fire is catching, she’d say, but if this one burns down the arena, I say good riddance."

"You were capable of imagining a different future. And maybe it won’t be realized today, maybe not in our lifetime. Maybe it will take generations. We’re all part of a continuum. Does that make it pointless?" 

"With that, she condemns me to life."
