Reading Sunrise on the Reaping feels like stepping back into the world of The Hunger Games, but this time with the haunting knowledge that Haymitch will survive—though at what cost? 

I never liked Haymitch in the original series. I couldn’t understand why he couldn’t get his act together. Now I do. This book peels back the layers of his past, revealing the brutal, heartbreaking events that shaped him into the mentor we first met in The Hunger Games. 

Suzanne Collins delivers yet another thrilling, high-stakes survival story, packed with political tension, moral dilemmas, and gut-wrenching moments. The Games are just as terrifying as ever, and knowing the outcome didn’t make the journey any less gripping. I devoured this in two days. 

If you love the original series, this is an essential read. It doesn’t just add to the story—it redefines how we see Haymitch and the horrors of the Capitol.
