Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins
Goodreads Blurb: 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 honour 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.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Goodreads Review: Thank you Suzanne Collins, you have ruined Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven for me. I shall never again be able to hear it without crying. If you’ve read the Hunger Games trilogy then you’ll know already this isn’t a happy story – so you pick it up thinking you’re prepared for it, but you won’t be. You won’t be. Having said that – this is my favourite of her books.
