Sunrise on the Reaping (eBook)

“The tale of survival, of death and despair, where the Capitol’s twisted games poison the air. A broken boy, a hollow shell, left to wander a living hell.”

Bewertet: Buch (Gebundene Ausgabe)

As a former Hunger Games fan, who wore the “Katniss braid” and Mockingjay pin on a daily basis like my life depended on it, I even paused my belated throne of glass journey (you can totally judge me for that) for sotr because, how can you even read ANYTHING else, when there is a new Hunger Games book on the market? For those of you who haven’t read it by now or don’t even consider reading it anytime soon, you are 1. a very strong individual, and I honestly respect you for that, and 2. you can’t even imagine what you are missing out on. SC once again blessed us with a deadly but breathtaking arena (isn’t the arena reveal and the bloodbath at the Cornucopia one of the most exciting and iconic moments of the Hunger Games anyway?). The arena is seductive, lush and even mesmerizing, but since these are the Hunger Games, everything good comes with a high cost. But let’s get to Haymitch. We all know him as the broken, cynical, misanthropic alcoholic mentor of District 12, and we knew where his story was heading, but seeing him as a young boy with hopes and dreams, going through literal hell, losing everything and experiencing it firsthand? I really don’t know if I will ever be able to recover from his story. Don’t even get me started with the epilogue. It was blessing and curse at the same time. I felt so bad for Haymitch. He deserved so much better, and with every line and page, I despised Snow even more. It was so brutal, I’m sure I’m going to need at least 3-5 business days to process this vile masterpiece.
