This latest installment follows sixteen-year-old Haymitch Abernathy, forced to become a tribute after Peacekeepers kill the boy originally selected for The Hunger Games. A brutal, bittersweet, and unputdownable prequel to the popular series.

OUCH OUCH OUCH MY HEART HURTS
I wanted this story really bad ever since I heard a snippet from haymitch’s games and it did NOT disappoint. In fact there are some things I wish I could un know because it’s so devastating :( but necessary
Sweet heart :(
The mockingjay pin :(
Katniss father :(
All beautifully written and changes the entire way that I’m going to watch the hunger games for the 75th time. I can’t wait for the movie and would volunteer as tribute to be Lenore Dove before the candy….

This book was beautiful. As someone who grew up reading the hunger games, this book was so touching, sad, and an amazing way to end the hunger games series.
Every chapter had you gripping your seat, and wiping your tears. Suzanne really wanted us to appreciate Haymitch, and understand why he was the drunk bastard he is. And she did. Oh she did. To have a character suffer so much… I didn’t think it actually would be possible??? How can she make that one character loses every. single. person. in their life?? It’s even more upsetting reading this book and then thinking about the hunger games, comparing it to Katniss and Peetas story…
We’ve all been waiting for this book. We’ve wanted it from the moment Haymitchs games were mentioned in the Hunger Games. And now we have it. Was it worth it? 110%. Will it break you? 110%. Will it make you have a newfound appreciation for this series? 110%.
Hats off to Suzanne. You’ve done it again, and have created a book that has changed lives and that we all love like all-fire.

I initially had trouble getting into the story. I didn’t recognize this Hamish. Once I did get into the story, O couldn’t put it down and wanted to reread the series. I appreciate his origin stories of many of the characters and how they interacted and bonded with each other prior to Katniss. If you are a Hunger Games Fan, you’ll want to read this book to complete the series.

The Hunger Games
————————————
WHY HASN'T SOMEONE FORCED ME TO READ THIS EARLIER?! IT'S SO GOOD! Katniss Everdeen is such a badass. She's not a superhero, nor is she driven by a desire for fame or glory. She's a survivalist, fiercely protective of her family and willing to risk everything for those she loves. And hear me out, Team Peeta forever! He transcends the simple image of a baker, embodying hope and genuine love in a harsh reality. His deep empathy allows him to see the good in Katniss, even when she can't, constantly demonstrating the strength of compassion and love amidst despair. I'M ABSOLUTELY SWOONING FOR HIM! Beyond the captivating characters, this offers a powerful commentary on social inequality, the dangers of unchecked power, and the manipulation of media. The author masterfully crafts a world where the opulence of the Capitol stands in stark contrast to the poverty and desperation of the districts, forcing readers to confront uncomfortable truths about our own society. The Games themselves become a symbol of exploitation and control, highlighting the brutality of a system that dehumanizes its citizens for entertainment. This book isn't just a thrilling read; it's a book that encourages you to think critically about the world around you and the choices we make. It's a story about courage, resilience, and the enduring power of the human spirit. Whether you're a long-time fan or considering picking it up for the first time, prepare to be captivated, challenged, and ultimately, moved by this modern classic.
Catching Fire
————————————
OMG, THIS IS AMAZING AF. It's a masterful piece of young adult fiction that surpasses its predecessor in depth, complexity, and sheer emotional impact. While the first book introduced us to the brutal world of Panem and the resilient Katniss Everdeen, this book ignites a rebellion, forcing Katniss to confront the true cost of her survival and the power she unwittingly wields. One of the greatest strengths of this book is its character development. Katniss is more complex and nuanced here. She's wrestling with guilt, fear, and the overwhelming responsibility placed upon her shoulders. Her relationship with Peeta blossoms beautifully, evolving from a pragmatic alliance into something deeper and more meaningful. We also see a greater exploration of secondary characters like Haymitch, Finnick, and Johanna, adding layers of richness and complexity to the world. But it's the ending that truly cements its place as one of the most impactful installments in the series. Just when you think Katniss and Peeta might have a chance, just when you start to believe their plan will work, everything is ripped away in a single, devastating moment. The destruction of the arena, planned and executed by the victors themselves, is a shocking act of rebellion, meticulously orchestrated by Haymitch. But the biggest shock comes with the revelation that Katniss is the only one rescued, whisked away on a rebel hovercraft while Peeta remains behind, captured by the Capitol. *GASP* This cliffhanger is brutal, leaving you gasping for breath and desperate to know what happens next. It's a testament to Collins' writing that she can leave you feeling so utterly helpless and yet, simultaneously, filled with a sense of hope. This is a harrowing, suspenseful, and deeply moving novel that reminds us that even in the darkest of times, the human spirit can endure, and the flames of rebellion can never be truly extinguished. It's a must-read.
Mockingjay
————————————
OMG, THIS WAS ⚫FANTASTIC (is that hyperpigmentation? XD)!!!⚫ Instead of simply serving up another arena of action, Collins bravely delves into the grim realities of rebellion. We find Katniss Everdeen, the reluctant symbol of the revolution, grappling with PTSD, moral dilemmas, and the crushing weight of expectations. This isn't the invincible 'Girl on Fire' anymore; this is a damaged, vulnerable young woman struggling to navigate the treacherous landscape of war and propaganda. The political machinations and strategic maneuvers of the rebellion are another compelling element. Suzanne explores the complexities of leadership, the dangers of unchecked power, and the importance of questioning authority, even when it comes from those on your own side. The moral ambiguities present throughout the book are not a flaw, but rather a testament to the depth and intelligence of the narrative. The much-debated ending, while melancholic, is ultimately a message of hope and resilience. Unfortunately, Suzanne doesn't offer a fairytale ending but instead presents a realistic view of the long road to recovery after immense trauma. Katniss's journey towards healing and finding solace in the simple joys of life is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit. YOU GUYS MUST READ THE HUNGER GAMES TRILOGY, IT'S FANTASTIC.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
————————————
Suzanne's return to Panem with this book was met with both excitement and trepidation. Could she recapture the magic of the original 'Hunger Games' trilogy? Could a story focusing on a young Coriolanus Snow, the villain we love to hate, possibly be compelling? The answer, unequivocally, is yes. This prequel isn't just a return to a familiar world; it's a rich, complex, and deeply satisfying exploration of the seeds of tyranny and the power of individual choice. While many prequels stumble, 'The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' stands firmly on its own two feet. It's not reliant on nostalgic callbacks or forced connections to the original trilogy. Instead, Collins crafts a unique narrative, seamlessly weaving in elements that subtly foreshadow Snow's future and offer a chilling understanding of his motivations. We see him struggling, vulnerable, and even, dare I say, sympathetic, as he navigates a post-war Capitol still reeling from the rebellion. The brilliance of the novel lies in its multifaceted characters. Snow is no simple villain, he's a product of his environment, driven by ambition, fear, and a desperate desire to restore his family's name. His internal conflict is palpable, as he grapples with his moral compass and the choices that will ultimately define him. This complexity makes him endlessly fascinating, forcing readers to confront uncomfortable questions about the nature of good and evil. Beyond Coriolanus, the supporting characters are equally captivating. Lucy Gray Baird, the tribute from District 12, is a breath of fresh air. Her charisma, wit, and defiance are infectious, and her relationship with Snow is fraught with tension and uncertainty. The other mentors, tributes, and Capitol citizens add layers of depth to the world-building, showcasing the societal inequalities and desperate circumstances that fuel the games. Collins' writing remains as sharp and engaging as ever. Her prose is evocative, painting a vivid picture of a decaying Capitol and the brutal realities of the Hunger Games. The pacing is expertly handled, building suspense and keeping the reader on the edge of their seat. The exploration of themes like propaganda, manipulation, and the corrupting influence of power is both timely and thought-provoking. 'The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' isn't just a prequel; it's a crucial piece of the 'Hunger Games' puzzle. It adds depth and nuance to the world of Panem, providing a chilling backstory to the events we know and love. It forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about human nature and the choices we make. This isn't a light-hearted read, but it's a rewarding one. Prepare to be captivated, challenged, and ultimately, moved by this exceptional novel. Suzanne Collins has proven once again that she is a master storyteller, and 'The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' is a testament to her enduring talent. I loved it so much.
Sunrise on the Reaping
————————————
HJSAHFUIOEAGFKH, HELP ME. THIS IS MY FAVOURITE HUNGER GAMES BOOK! From the very first page, Collins plunges us back into the oppressive atmosphere of District 12, years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute. We see a young, cynical Haymitch, a survivor hardened by loss and driven by a rebellious spirit simmering beneath a veneer of apathy. Collins expertly crafts a portrait of vulnerability and resilience, unveiling the layers of a character often perceived as simply a drunkard mentor. We witness the events that forge his cynicism, the losses that scar his soul, and the fight for survival that ultimately defines him. HAYMITCH X LENORE DOVE FOREVERRRRR. For longtime fans of the Hunger Games, 'Sunrise on the Reaping' offers a satisfying return to Panem, filled with familiar faces and a deeper understanding of the events that shaped the revolution. For new readers, it serves as a captivating entry point into the world, offering a compelling narrative with universal themes that resonate long after the final page is turned. In conclusion, this book is a triumph. It's a gripping, thought-provoking, and emotionally resonant novel that solidifies Suzanne Collins' place as a literary powerhouse. Prepare to be transported back to Panem, to be challenged, to be heartbroken, and ultimately, to be inspired. This is a book that will stay with you long after you've finished reading, prompting reflection and reminding us of the importance of fighting for justice and hope in a world that often feels overwhelmingly dark. Don't miss this fiery dawn. The Hunger Games fans love you like all-fire, Haymitch. ❤

The Hunger Games is a really addicting story, definitely dystopian vibes. I enjoyed the most recent addition to this series.
April 5, 2025
I was so excited to read this book. I have been waiting for Haymitch's story since the first Hunger Games! Reading this gave me a much better understanding and respect for him! I fell in love with his character even more than i already did!!!
October 19, 2025
I finished Sunrise on the Reaping a while back but didn’t write a review until now. I was sobbing through parts of this book. Suzanne Collins really knows how to hit you in the feels. The story dives deep into Haymitch’s past, showing his struggles and resilience in a way that’s both heartbreaking and compelling. The writing is intense and immersive, and the emotional weight stayed with me long after I finished. Definitely a must-read for fans of the Hunger Games universe and anyone who doesn’t mind being moved to tears.

Simplemente magnifico. Es impresionante como este libro nos ayuda a entender lo que es una sociedad dañada por la desigualdad nos muestra un mundo tan terrible y bizarro que llega a el punto de mandar a niños a una arena a pelear de vida o muerte, ademas que la historia de la trilogía principal nos lo relata muy bien y tiene personajes tan complejos como Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark y el presidente Snow. Me gustaría recalcar tambien la perspectiva desde el Capitolio en donde la gente se vuelve tan cegada por las propagandas que Capitolio les provee que no les parece algo cuestionable y terrible lo que son Los juegos del hambre. los distritos son una manera de mostrarnos la desigualdad en toda su potencia sus condiciones son inhumanas y terribles. Ahora hablando acerca de las dos precuelas quiero comentar un poco acerca de balada de cantores y serpientes me parece que hace un muy buen trabajo mostrandonos como el presidente snow se vuelve de la manera que es, durante todo el libro tuvo muchas oportunidades de ser bueno o hacer el bien con personajes como Tigris o Sejanus que lo impulsaron a hacer el bien y los termino traicionado, decidio dejarse llevar por la codicia y sed de poder. Acerca de lo que amenecer en la cosecha me parecia que se formo un muy buen trabajo dandonos la perspectiva de Haymitch haciendo que pudieramos conocer más de cual fue su viaje para llegar a ese estado de depresion, el libro fue muy triste pero tambien pudo ayudarnos a entender muchas otras cosas de las cuales no tuvimos tanto contexto en libros anteriores. En conclusion quiero decir que esta saga es una obra de arte que podemos relacionar con nuestro contexto actual y sobre todo por las guerras y política y como ha llegado a puntos dañinos y extremos. Solo se necesita una llama fuerte y decidida para acabar con la oscuridad 🔥❤️

Here are quick ratings for each individual books
The Hunger Games - 4 stars
Catching fire - 5 stars
Mocking Jay - 3.75 stars
Ballad - 4 stars
Sunrise - 5 stars
This series will be a classic forever and ever. It did what no other dystopian book could do and actually taught you something about humanity and the power that words and action truly have. The power that comes from defiance. If we our government ever does become like this, you can bet they I will be standing up, bowing in front of the president in defiance before doing th three fingered salute to my fellow revolutionaries.
Also ps, Peeta and Katniss is one of the most realistic romances to come out of a situation like this. Good job Collins for making us root for them, but stay focused on the actual plot at the same time.
PPs Lucy gray Baird and Lenore Dove Baird are PERFECT characters to explain what haunting the narrative actually means. Slow clap 1 million times for all the covey girls in these books, katniss included.

I really love this series, especially tbosas and sotr. I really love how Suzanne Collins connected sotr with the hunger games trilogy and tbosas. I love snow's interaction with haymitch and it's apparent that snow hasn't gotten over Lucy yet lol and her effects on him has not faded even after years. sotr gave me a good insight into haymitch and frankly I really love him. this book also explains how haymitch knew mags and beetee.
I wld def recommend this book to those who loves hunger games and I would like to purchase the hard cover soon.

Sunrise of the Reaping was beautifully constructed by Collins, as most of the Hunger Games series are.
The insight into yet another character who is not deeply explored throughout the original three books is eye-opening and compelling for various reasons. Haymitch's backstory is somewhat completed after this book, allowing readers an understanding of why he is the way he is. Emotionally and heartwrenchingly, the struggles of the districts and the consequences to those who dare to resist are shown.

the first movie trilogie came out the time I was Prims to Katnisses Age, but because of the marketing I didn't watched it back than (was not so much into "love-triangles"). now I'm around Finicks Age and crying angry tears while reading all 5 books in 2 months and watching the (currently) 4 movies. I was so wrong not starting it earlier.
December 21, 2025
this is my favorite Suzanne Collins book. All of the different connections from all of her different books and the brutality that undergoes this book with the accounts of one of our beloved characters is amazing!
January 4, 2026
It took me a few days to get through most of the books, except for Mockingjay took me well over a week because I got annoyed with Katniss and her character (going back and forth about actually being the Mockingjay).
July 6, 2025
It was just like all the other hunger games books. Nothing to keep me hooked. First half is prepping for the games. Second half in the games. The last 10% what life is like after the games.
July 30, 2025
Genuinely obsessed with these books and series. I read the original 3 when i was in year 8 and read the latest 2 when they were also released. Will always be a Haymitch fan!
November 2, 2025
Excellent book! It was so good. Can't wait to see the movie.

It was good but especially the games felt too rushed. Also, you could blink and lose a death, they were too fast.

Compelling even after reading all of its prequels!

I think this entire series is a creative way to share about trauma responses.

The story kept my attention in the beginning and middle and had I not finished it I would have said I liked it. But toward the end the story turned south, and then there was a lot of reciting poetry -- repeating The Raven. Why? And it really ended badly. I was totally disappointed in it.

I chose this so I could mark that I read Sunrise on the reaping again, this time with my Mom, since Goodreads won’t mark it read twice in a year.
