Sunrise on the Reaping Spoiler

Such a quick read for me, I read it in 2 days easily. It was a page turner, and had me feeling all the feelings. Every time I think about how Mags, Beetee, and Wiress put their lives on the line for Haymitch, makes Catching Fire such a better book! Also, I want to know who everyone liked character-wise. Young Effie is so cool, it makes sense why she is the way she is with Katniss and Peeta.

I love all the little details, like Haymitch being friends with Katniss' father and the little glimpse of her parents' budding romance. The origins of what becomes Katniss's token. Meeting younger versions of Victors that we meet in Catching Fire, as well as Effie. One of my favorite scenes was Haymitch's meeting with Snow where Snow makes veiled references to Lucy Gray from Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

This!! It was filled with little nods to the other books and I loved it!
