Well, I just finished Sunrise on the Reaping...

@NoxAeterna I hope so too. The casting so far looks good, and announcing them two by two just like the tributes is a good start to do it justice.

@BabyLonia it's definitely food for thought and the one that gave me the most reasons to read the whole series again to look for hidden patterns. I'm particularly interested in the meaning behind candy, snow (the weather, not the president), bread, flowers and the color orange. Those all seem to be mentioned more often than would fit into the story casually, so there may be foreshadowing or a metaphor in that.

@NerdyPotato and also what happens to the covey.....they are not even alluded to in the original trilogy

@BabyLonia indeed, and yet their songs are... Perhaps they went into hiding when it became clear Snow has it out for all of them after his experience with Lucy Gray, or he succeeded in "getting rid" of all of them.

@itsok the epilogue was very surprising indeed, and I didn't expect the methods for what was already known either.

@JaggedLittlePill it's a good read with modern real-life politics in mind for sure.
