About this listen
The phenomenal fifth book in the Hunger Games series!
Acclaimed actor Jefferson White, who starred in Paramount Network's Yellowstone as Jimmy Hurdstrom, brings his talent to the worldwide best-selling Hunger Games series as narrator of the Sunrise on the Reaping audiobook!
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 honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes.
Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves.
When Haymitch's name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He's torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who's nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town. As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he's been set up to fail. But there's something in him that wants to fight . . . and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena.

Best one yet?
Amazing job by the narrator. Engaging and heartbreaking story. Might be my favourite of the series. If you’re a fan of the previous books, you’ll love this

Not too old to listen to a Hunger Games book
Given that I haven’t read any Hunger Games books since I was 8-12 (I’m 25 now), I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this! Performance was very, very well done and Jefferson White made a very convincing young Haymitch. It was good enough that I’ll be listening to The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes next! Might even get the original trilogy too. Definitely worth a credit if you’re thinking about this one!

amazing narrator
the book is a great story and opens our eyes to more of Panem. Told through Haymitch we learn more about the history of this dystopian universe. the narrator is the best part, sharing different voices, adding empathy to each line. As a long time Hunger Games fan, I adore this novel.

More of a Good Thing
It’s really written and narrated beautifully, not quite as good as the others though in the series IMO but definitely no slouch. Throughly enjoyed it!

Really Great!
I got in thinking it was gonna be an aftertough of a book, but Suzanne Collins knew what she was doing with this story! It adds so much context to the first 3 Hunger Games. I was not the biggest fan of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, but Sunrise on the Reaping is a must read for any fan of the serie.

It’s not super original, but it’s more of the classic hunger games style
There’s a little bit too much moping for my taste. I don’t think that it would make sense for them not to mope, but I wish they didn’t focus in on it as much because it gets really really annoying after the third hour where they haven’t said anything other than being sad

Beautiful
This book was truly beautiful its point is clear and sends a message. It fills in gaps from the other hunger games and fills in details that make so much sense looking back.

The Book We Needed
To say this book packs a punch, is an understatement. It left me shocked and thinking of Haymitch for days. I couldn’t recommend it more, just read the main series first.

Amazing!
This book is everything a HungerGames fan is looking for! Excellent story and narration. There are a few audio mistakes though. You hear the narrator say audio directions in a few spots, I noticed it in chapter 8, maybe it can be fixed.
