The new Hunger Games novel, *Sunrise on the Reaping*, is my most anticipated book release of 2025. It has been a constant presence on Amazon's best sellers list throughout the year, impressively breaking into the top five even before its official release. This is hardly surprising given the immense popularity of the Hunger Games series, which has already been successfully adapted into films. In fact, *Sunrise on the Reaping* is slated for its own cinematic adaptation in 2026.
*Sunrise on the Reaping* will be released on Tuesday, March 18. Currently, Amazon is offering significant discounts on both hardcover and Kindle editions. For those seeking something special, exclusive editions are available at Barnes & Noble and Target, each with unique extras to enhance your reading experience.

What Is Sunrise on the Reaping About?
The new Hunger Games novel, *Sunrise on the Reaping*, is the fifth installment in the series but takes place at a different point in the timeline. Set approximately 40 years after *The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes* and 24 years before the events of the original Hunger Games novel, it unfolds during the Second Quarter Quell, which was won by Haymitch Abernathy. Fans of the series will recognize Haymitch as the mentor for District 12, famously portrayed by Woody Harrelson in the films.
