Sunrise on the Reaping
10 months ago, Suzanne Collins announced the fifth installment of the Hunger Games series, Sunrise on the Reaping, which was released on March 18. The book centers on Haymitch Abernathy, the mysterious and prickly advisor to Katniss and Peeta. Haymitch’s own Hunger Games story starts on the 50th anniversary of the games. When his name is called, he is ripped away from his love and his family to the second Quarter Quell, where twice the amount of children are sent to the games. This prequel will give insight into Haymitch’s character in the rest of the series and will satisfy the taste of Hunger Games fans, who have been waiting almost two years since the last installment, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
