Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I had little to no interest in this book until release day. I saw all the TikToks, had all the FOMO and then luckily stumbled across an audiobook on Everand (which btw I do NOT recommend, I kept forgetting everyone’s names). Finally a friend took pity on me and lent me her print copy.

I read this book with clear expectations and figured nothing would shock me. I knew who would win, what their life would look like afterwards, etc. But despite that, this book had surprises for me that I did NOT see coming. I cried at some parts (somehow it hit me harder this time that it was just kids in the arena).

After the last movie, I was a bit of a Snow sympathizer but about half an hour into the audiobook, I hated him (well done, Suzanne Collins). As the book continued, I wanted to kill him myself.

I sacrificed sleep, TikTok, meals and even let my Nintendo Switch die (something that hadn’t happened…EVER) because I was THAT invested in this book.

Just read the damn book. I have no one to discuss it with
