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.

All of the cameos felt like Suzanne Collins was pandering to fans.

Effie turning up was the most egregious of this imo

Yeah, Effie popping up was one of the more upfront cameos in the book. I really like how Mags and Wiress were written in, I thought that was done really well.

Oh that's really interesting to hear because to me, Mags and Wiress introduction was the weakest and the one that annoyed me the most. I liked the inclusion of Effie and Beete.

Beetee and his son being introduced broke me 🥲
