The novel is classic Collins writing — emotionally charged and unflinching in its portrayals of violence under oppression. But “Sunrise on the Reaping” takes it to the next level. Arguably Collins’ darkest book, this prequel reaches new levels of emotional maturity, adding grim texture to the familiar world.

 If you have sisters like I do, this book will absolutely make you cry. If you don’t have sisters, you’ll probably still cry, too.“Hello Beautiful” is emotional, and your heart will break alongside the Padavano sisters.
