" Sunrise on the Reaping is a propulsive heart-wrenching addition to The Hunger Games
adding welcome texture to the cruel world of Panem . This is the project of dystopian
fiction: to shine a light in tyranny's greasiest corners and show how people - ordinary
determined human beings - might take it apart " - New York Times " Collins is an excellent
writer and there are moments of surprising lyricism . Sunrise on the Reaping contains enough
both to snare new readers and to satisfy the most bloodthirsty fan " - Guardian 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 honour
