Sunrise on the Reaping

By Suzanne Collins

5 stars

Meet young Haymitch and learn more about President Snow's sick and twisted mind all in the 50th Hunger Games
Red Rising

By Pierce Brown

5 stars

Red Rising: Or: “What if Hunger Games, Roman Emperors, and Space Unions had a very intense baby?” Darrow is a 16-year-old Red — not the lipstick shade, but the “we-literally-dig-holes-so-rich-people-can-breathe-better” class. He thinks he’s nobly helping terraform Mars… until he discovers Mars has been perfectly liveable the whole time and the rich Golds have basically been sitting up there sipping lattes going, “Don’t tell the workers.” After a tragedy that will make you shake your fist at literally everyone, Darrow is recruited by a mysterious rebel group led by Ares — God of War, Full-Time Secret Society Founder, Part-Time Drama Queen. Their master plan? Turn Darrow into an undercover Gold. Yes. The 16-year-old mining boy becomes a Space Roman Rich Boy. What could possibly go wrong? Darrow dies. Or does he? Probably. But also not really. Think Sam and Dean Winchester rules: death is merely a strongly worded suggestion. From there it’s boarding school meets battle royale. He makes friends. He makes enemies. Sometimes they’re the same people. He learns that the ruling class will absolutely do whatever they want just because they can, and also that rebellions take a really, REALLY long time. Darrow: “Must the uprising take this long?” Ares: “Yes.” Readers: “Cool but also I have work in the morning.” It’s brutal. It’s clever. It’s political. It’s also weirdly funny in that “I’m-emotionally-broken-but-invested-now” kind of way. By the end you’ll be: ⦁ cheering ⦁ crying ⦁ suspicious of any colour-coded social system ⦁ downloading the sequel IMMEDIATELY Final verdict: Excellent space drama with revolution, trauma, betrayal, and friendship — plus a main character who simply refuses to stay dead. Tino pai.
