A New Dawn of the Hunger Games

Author Suzanne Collins released a new book to add on to the Hunger Games, Sunrise on the Reaping. The book was very much anticipated by Hunger Games fans. The book covers a District 12 Champion named Haymitch Abernathy. Fans read about Haymitch in the original Hunger Games books. Sunrise on the Reaping was about what happened in Haymitch’s Games and why he turned out the way he was.
The book before Sunrise on the Reaping was another prequel called The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Many fans had considered that the next book would be about Haymitch’s games. Others thought that it could be about someone or something else. “I honestly hadn’t considered if there would be another book but I had heard rumors of a book about Haymitch’s games.” said senior Emma Naden. Many rumors had circulated that Haymitch’s games could be featured in this book.
Sunrise on the Reaping was a great addition to the series. Freshman Jessa Kern agreed, “Yes, because I thought that maybe the author had enough prequels.” Many people were looking forward to reading it considering what the previous book had been about. Senior Emma Naden had something to say about it being a good addition to the series as well, “It connected the first three books and the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes very well. I got very excited each time they made a reference to the other books or we learned more about a character. This book definitely filled some gaps in the story and made the story much more meaningful. Sunrise on the Reaping increased my appreciation for Haymitch and helped me understand much more about his personality.” This book gave people a better understanding of the history of the Games and how they can affect people.
If you haven’t read the Hunger Games series, many people would recommend this series for the suspense and thrill of it. Starting with the trilogy then reading the two prequels is the best place to start.
In conclusion, Sunrise on the Reaping was a great addition to the series. With how well it was written and with all of the connections to the other books in the Hunger Games series it kept fans coming back for more. With fans continuing their desire to learn more and more of the plot line it made it the perfect book to never put down.
