Sunrise on the Reaping (a Hunger Games Novel)

"They will not use my tears for thwir entertainment." Ich habe schon ein bisschen über das Buch/die Geschichte auf Bookstagram und durch den Trailer gehört, aber es hat trotzdem alle meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Mehr Einblicke in das Capitol, mehr Propaganda, von der man zu sehen bekam, waren einfach nur wow. Da ist man direkt mit den Leuten aus den armen Distrikten wütend. Zu sehen, wie die Einwohner des Capitols die Propaganda fressen und feiern, ist einfach nur frustrierend (selbst die Parallelen zu unserer Welt zu entdecken). Zu sehen, wie herzlos das Capitol, oder eher gesagt Snow, ist, ist einfach nur herzzerbrechend. Man hat sich so gefühlt, als würde man mit den Charakteren etwas verlieren. Man hat selbst keine Erleichterung gefühlt, als Haymitch gewonnen hat, denn man hat im Prozess mit ihm so viel gelitten und verloren. Es war im Großen und Ganzen kein Sieg. Aber die Parallelen/Referenzen von Lucy Gray und Snow zu Haymitch und Lenore Dove, die Everdeen-Familie, die „Geschichte“ des Mockingjay-Pins und herauszufinden, was der Titel für eine Bedeutung hat, waren atemberaubend. Als ich das Buch zu Ende gelesen habe, habe ich die ganze Zeit gesagt: „Ich bin nicht ready“, obwohl ich es schon gelesen hab! Sehr tragisch, sehr gut.

Haymitch has always been my favourite character in the Hunger Games series so this was.. painful to say the least. But by God was it a good book. We get so much new information about the games and the history of rebellion in Panem and we meet many beloved characters in their younger years. Truly a highlight of my year.

What can I say, of course this book would get me. I love Suzanne´s mind, her way of political fiction (is it fiction at this point-) is just perfect. I am so ready to watch the movie and cannot wait to cry my eyes out when that one scene happens.. you know which one.

"Sunrise on the reaping" has to be my second favourite book (after Catching fire, nobody beats that) and we learn all abouthe 50th hunger games or the second quarter quell. I am very late to reading this book but long awaited, I LOVED IT and it destroyed me!!!!!! When I tell you this book wrecked me, im not lying. Haymitch, Maysilee and Louella (or Lou Lou) grew so close to my heart. My girl Maysilee, the baddie you were, you will never be forgotten. After "The ballad of songbirds and snakes" especially the movie (yes im talking about Tom Blyth) we were so foolish to feel even the tiniest bit bad for Snow. He destroyed everything Haymitch ever adored and loved and I hate him for it. If you loved the original trilogy (obviously) this s the book for youuuuu, so read it immediately. And if you felt a little tingling for Snow while watching "the ballad of songbirds and snakes..... YOU TOO RIGHT NOW

Sunrise on the Reaping was such an emotional and unforgettable read. I cried so much while reading this book, and I honestly wasn’t prepared for how deeply the story would affect me. The book has so many amazing characters, and I absolutely loved getting to know them. They all made the story feel even more emotional and engaging. The plot was incredibly exciting and kept me hooked from beginning to end. This is definitely one of my highlights of the year so far. If you love emotional and intense stories, I can only recommend this book. Definitely a must-read!
