Prepare
to
enter
the
arena.
The
Hunger
Games
arena.
That’s
right,
nearly
five
years
after
returning
to
Panem—and
going
back
in
time—with
The
Ballad
of
Songbirds
and
Snakes, Suzanne
Collins is
back
with
another
prequel
in Sunrise
on
the
Reaping.
This
time,
she’s
detailing
Haymitch
Abernathy’s
victorious
journey
through
the
Games’
Second
Quarter
Quell,
24
years
before
Katniss
Everdeen
volunteers
as
tribute.
That
year, twice
as
many
tributes entered but
still
only
Haymitch emerged alive.
Over
the
course
of
the Hunger
Games trilogy,
little
is
known
about
Haymitch’s
time
in
the
arena,
only
that
he
won,
pulled
a
stunt
that
angered
the
Capitol
and
led
to
the
deaths
of
his
family and girlfriend
and cemented his
future
as
a
reclusive
alcoholic.
He
sees
himself,
as Mockingjay reveals,
as
little
more
than
a
cautionary
tale
for
the
victors
that
came after
him.
But
now,
Collins
is
ready
for
readers
to
learn
his
full
story.
