Book Review: ‘Sunrise on the Reaping’ by Suzanne Collins
This novel is on the same wavelength as Catching Fire, and that’s why diehard fans were ecstatic about it. It was stated in previous books that Haymitch encountered the worst Hunger Games, but was also the most defiant out of the other tributes.
Our Discord has a channel for The Hunger Games, where the MBC community has lively discussions. Come join our live book chat on Twitch so we can all gush about this series together.
Check out my review below of Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins. Let me know in the comments below what you thought about the book!
