My friend Eva joins me for this episode, since both of us just finished Sunrise on the Reaping, and honestly? We are not okay. This book completely wrecked us (yes, there were tears), and now we have no idea how to pick up another book. In this episode, we dive deep into how this prequel compares to the original Hunger Games books, the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and the movies. We break down the incredible connections, the devastating Easter eggs, and the haunting truth that Snow never really moved on from Lucy Gray—even 40 years later. If you love pain, heartbreak, and mind-blowing details about the Hunger Games universe, this one’s for you!
