The Hunger Games #05: Sunrise on the Reaping (A Hunger Games Novel)

First of all, I know I’m late to the party—but honestly, I think I read this at the perfect time. Hats off to Suzanne Collins for making me feel all the feels.I wasn’t even past the first chapter and my heart was already breaking for Haymitch. The horror of what really happened in the Fiftieth Hunger Games—so different from the tape—and that moment when I realized the meaning behind the title? Absolutely devastating.The parallels between Haymitch and Katniss were almost too much to handle. This book broke me. I can’t remember the last time a book had me bawling like this.If you haven’t read it yet, do yourself a favor and pick it up ASAP. And if you weren’t planning to? You’re seriously missing out on life. Literally.Iykyk,"One of us 2 to be the worst victor in history. Tear up their scripts, tear down their celebrations, set fire to the Victor's Village. Refuse to play their game."

This book is an icing on the cake. I could literally imagine Haymitch character. I am waiting for the movie release. The prologue made me feel like this book has been crafted really well by the author. The way Haymitch calls Katniss "sweetheart". Melts my heart. Great fan of this Hunger Games world. Great work. Must read for those who've read other books. Waiting for the next book!

Book Review:Knowing how this story ends even before you start makes each line hit harder. It's hard to hold on to hope when you've prepared yourself for devestation.But this book showcases how even at the bleakest moments, perceptive have the ability to change. Bonds can be forged. Hope can ignite itself. Survival makes you hunger for more.While I enjoyed reading this, there were times I struggled with how repetitive some instances felt, especially when the world wasn't too different from what we encounter in Katniss' arc, unlike the stark difference in Snow's story. Even with the Easter eggs of characters and moments, I craved for more diversity to Haymitch and Katniss' situations.Somethings took getting used to because of this, but the actual time in the arena was terrifying and stressful. While some moments can feel similar, it's the horror of being in that situation that truly grips you.As much as I was prepared for a gut-wrenching sensation with each page, it still hurt watching events unfold. But like waiting for the sunrise after an eternity of darkness, it reinforced the feeling of fighting for change. And knowing that one day, freedom will be reclaimed.Amazon Delivery:Terrible delivery - the agent didn't even call when when they came and just threw it over my gate onto the wet floor. The package was torn and there were some tears to the cover.

Awesome book

Leave no black plume a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my doorTake thy beak from out my heart, & take thy from off my door!Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
