This week on Lost in Fiction, Emily and Alex switch things up with a special episode dedicated to The Hunger Games, in honour of the recent release of Sunrise on the Reaping. Taking a nostalgic detour from their usual book reviews, they dive into the trilogy that shaped their early reading journeys and explore how Suzanne Collins left an unmistakable mark on a generation. From conflicted feelings about The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes to an emotional deep-dive into Haymitch’s devastating backstory, they reflect on the heart-wrenching characters, haunting themes, and the chillingly clear messages Collins has undoubtedly woven through the world of Panem. Join Emily and Alex for a powerful, reflective episode that goes beyond the arena and straight into the heart of what makes The Hunger Games so unforgettable.
