Sunrise On The Reaping by Suzanne Collins

5.0

Warning for mild non specific spoilers!!


I loved this book. Obviously we go in knowing what's gonna happen which is so traumatic tbh. Seeing a young Haymitch full of love and hope and knowing how he is 24 years later is so sad!! There were also so many characters we know in this book! It felt like a true prequel to Catching Fire. 

Honestly, seeing how everyone tried and had hopes of ending the Hunger Games, and knowing that they do ultimately succeed but not until 25 years later, it was rough. I cried a lot reading this book and I'm not a big cryer!

I love the way the two prequel books contribute so much to world building for the Hunger Games, personally I like both prequels a lot more than the original trilogy and I think it's clear that Suzanne's writing skills have improved a lot. I loved the epilogue of the book and I'm so glad we got it. I really hope the movie finds a way to put that in as well. 

I really hope there's more books in this universe eventually, I feel like there's so many stories to tell!
