Our 2nd Sidequest episode is here, and this time, we're diving into the gripping new prequel Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins. Set 24 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute, this haunting tale unearths the dark origins of the 50th Hunger Games, and the brutal legacy it left behind. Join us as we unravel the layers of power, rebellion, and sacrifice in a Capitol-ruled world that feels more chillingly relevant than ever. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Panem, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
