Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.52 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
4.52 / 5 (848240 total reviews)

Readers were deeply split on Sunrise on the Reaping. Many hailed it as a devastating, immersive return to Panem—an intense character study of Haymitch that pairs brutal set pieces with resonant commentary on propaganda, power, and grief. They praised the atmosphere, quotable lines, and how it reframed Haymitch’s trauma, calling it nostalgic and emotionally overwhelming. Others found it derivative and overreliant on cameos, arguing that the prose felt clunkier, the plotting predictable and convenient, and the new material added little beyond fan service, with some continuity strains and a softened sense of stakes due to foreknowledge. The result is a powerful but divisive entry: essential for ardent fans, unnecessary for skeptics.

"A propulsive, brutal Hunger Games prequel is here. And it's great." The New York Times

When you've been set up to lose everything you love, what is there left to fight for?

As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes.

Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves.

When Haymitch's name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He's torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who's nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town. As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he's been set up to fail. But there's something in him that wants to fight . . . and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena.
