Sunrise on the Reaping is a propulsive, heart-wrenching
addition to The Hunger Games, adding welcome texture
to the cruel world of Panem ... This is the project of dystopian
fiction: to shine a light in tyranny's greasiest corners and show
how people - ordinary, determined human beings - might take it
apart - New York Times
Collins is an excellent writer, and there are moments
of surprising lyricism ... Sunrise on the Reaping contains enough
both to snare new readers and to satisfy the most bloodthirsty
fan - Guardian

weaving pertinent themes of misinformation and propaganda around
the thrills and action. - The Observer
When you've been set up to lose everything you love,
what is there left to fight for?
As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips
the districts of Panem. This year, in honour of the Quarter Quell,
twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes. Back
in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard
about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the
day and being with the girl he loves.
When Haymitch's name is called, he can feel all his dreams break.
He's torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol
with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who's
nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up
girl in town.
As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he's been set up to fail.
But there's something in him that wants to fight . . . and have
that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena.
