“The Hunger Games Was Always a Warning
by I finished Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins last night, and honestly, I’m still reeling. This new prequel — centered on Haymitch Abernathy and the brutal 50th Hunger Games (aka the Second Quarter Quell) — delivers everything 12-year-old me ever wanted. It’s brutal, emotionally harrowing, and steeped in the kind of social commentary that made The Hunger Games iconic.
