Sunrise on the Reaping was released in March, I just finished reading it and would like to read some other opinions on it. In general to me it felt very much like the first book all over again and didn’t give any new insights into Panem, but got lost in references to all the other books.

    Yeah, that was an interesting bit, how they replaced her. Same with the reaping escalating and one of the tributes getting killed. But the general plot follows the first book very closely, I suppose that’s to be expected as the games are more or less always the same, just with a different arena.

      Yeah I think the fact it’s another prequel book shows how hard it is to do more with the story. The fundamentals don’t change.

        Well, the ending of the third book changed a lof in the world. A sequel could be interesting, but unless everything goes to shit the world would go to something we could consider normal, a world without the hunger games. This mostly leaves prequels, so far they were all tied in some way to the hunger games, but there are more prequel options like something during the first revolution.
