Feature film scheduled for November 2026. #1 USA Today Bestseller - #1 New York Times Bestseller - #1 Indie Bestseller - #1 Publishers Weekly Bestseller - A New York Times Editors' Choice "A propulsive, brutal Hunger Games prequel is here. And it's great." The New York Times 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 honor 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. Review: Amazing - I absolutely loved Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins. It was great returning to the world of Panem and seeing more of the history behind the Hunger Games. The story was gripping and emotional, and I found myself really invested in the characters and their journeys. One thing I especially enjoyed was seeing how the rebellion against the Capitol was always there beneath the surface. Even in small moments, you could see hints of resistance and the beginnings of the fight that would later grow into something much bigger. It added a lot of depth to the story and made the world feel even more connected to the rest of the series. Overall, this was an amazing read and a fantastic addition to the Hunger Games universe. I would definitely recommend it to fans of the series. Review: Potentially The Most Brutal Installment To Date - ’The moment out hearts shattered? It belongs to us.’ Brutal, harrowing and highly disturbing at times ’Sunrise On The Reaping’ doesn’t simply pack a handful of emotional gut punches and flinch inducing moments into its pages; its jam packed with them throughout. Yet, despite its heavy nature, it’s a highly compelling read that is pretty much impossible to put down. Not a combination that is always easy to come by but Suzanne Collins always nails it somehow. Needless to say I was hooked. Truthfully I can’t fully decide if this is the most brutal of The Hunger Games books yet. There were certainly occasions when it felt that way to me with scenes and manoeuvring that felt particularly barbaric. But it must have been over a decade now since I read the original series so maybe time is a factor in me feeling that way; I’ll never forget the hollowed out, bleak feeling that fell over me upon finishing ’Mockingjay’ all those years ago after all. This definitely had more than its fair share of macabre moments though and I have to say that these particular games may just be the most savage yet. Obviously, given the twisted nature of the games they’re always unthinkably horrific but between its misleadingly idyllic setting, its vast array of mutts and the higher than ever number of Tributes the barbarity of this particular set of ‘games’ really stands out. ’Sunrise On The Reaping’ is more than just an account of Haymitch’s time within the arena though. Technically that’s what is covered but there’s another storyline interwoven throughout which will mean a lot to fans of the series. Here you learn just how long certain things have been brewing. This is also a chilling insight into the propaganda of Collin’s world. Its more than simply disturbing to see just how expertly the Capitol can put a spin on any moment. Character wise there’s a mixture of old and new faces involved in this instalment. Some of the individuals from the other books that featured caught me completely off guard. It gave me additional insight into several characters who appear within the other books and also left me oddly curious to discover more of Plutarch’s story. Within the previous books I don’t think I gave him as much thought as I should of; now though...well I have to confess I’m kind of craving an instalment centred around him. Just how insightful an account of propaganda would you get by following in the footsteps of one of the people whose job it is to sell the Hunger Games story? Besides which I desperately crave more insight into his motivations now. Besides these old characters there were a few new faces that particularly stood out to me. I won’t name anyone again – as I think it’s best uncovering what people are like for yourself – but there was definitely one new face that I loathed instantly (trust me, you will too) and another that I ended up coming to root for immensely over the course of the book. Character journeys certainly seem to be something that the author excels at. There’s more that I could say about this novel but truthfully I think this is a review that’s best kept vague. Although I will quickly highlight the beauty of the epilogue too because I can’t share my feelings and not give that segment a shout out. Other than that I’ll simply say that this is a magnificent, brutal and fascinating new venture into Collins’ world that is sure to delight – and devastate – fans of the series. Altogether I definitely recommend ’Sunrise On The Reaping’ ; it’s another glorious book by Suzanne Collins that has left me longing to dive back into the dystopian genre (and re-read her original trilogy too). Its sure to strike a chord with the series many fans but if you haven’t yet read any of the books this could still work as a starting point into exploring the series. Its harrowing, brutal, chillingly disturbing and yet utterly impossible to put down. Needless to say I was utterly hooked and can’t wait to see what others think of it too. Please tell me I’m not alone in wanting a Plutarch book now. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 851,257 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 92,045 Reviews | ## Images ![Sunrise on the Reaping (the Hunger Games) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61o5Q8IIq4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing *by E***Y on 10 March 2026* I absolutely loved Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins.

Centered on a young Haymitch Abernathy during the 50th Hunger Games, the book dives deep into his psyche, peeling back the layers of the bitter, broken man we met in the original trilogy and revealing the scared, sharp, and stubborn boy beneath. The pacing is relentless and tense, as the horror of the Quarter Quell looms over every chapter. The world-building expands on the Panem we thought we knew, giving rich context to the politics, propaganda, and cruelty of the Capitol’s grip. Collins does what she does best—lays bare the systems of power and exploitation, and then shows us how ordinary people resist in extraordinary ways. Haymitch’s journey is brutal, and yet deeply human. The relationships he forges—especially with his fellow tributes—are moving, complex, and devastating in the best way. My only minor critique is that the love interest being a Covey felt somewhat repetitive after The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. While the parallels are thematically intentional and cleverly done, the connection may feel slightly familiar for readers hoping for something new. Still, the emotional resonance of this story is undeniable. Sunrise on the Reaping captures the spirit of resistance, sacrifice, and humanity that made the original trilogy unforgettable. It deepens the legacy of the series without ever feeling like a rehash. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer, this is a powerful return to Panem that will stay with you long after the final page. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sunrise on the Reaping (A Hunger Games Novel) (The Hunger Games) - The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (A Hunger Games Novel) (The Hunger Games) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/722349820-sunrise-on-the-reaping-the-hunger-games](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/722349820-sunrise-on-the-reaping-the-hunger-games) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
