Suzanne Collins’ highly anticipated prequel, ‘Sunrise on the Reaping,’ has taken the literary world by storm since its release earlier this year, quickly becoming an Amazon bestseller. This gripping addition to ‘The Hunger Games’ dystopian saga is essential reading for fans, especially with a movie adaptation already in development.
To celebrate the new release, a refreshed hardcover box set collecting all five books in the beloved series also hit shelves. While it’s a dream gift for any book enthusiast, its initial price point was a bit steep. However, just in time for Amazon’s exciting ‘Prime Big Deal Days’ event, this incredible collection has plunged to its lowest price ever, making it an irresistible offer.
Unbeatable Amazon Deal: The Hunger Games 5-Book Hardcover Box Set
Normally retailing at $125, or $25 per book, Amazon has consistently offered this set for less. But today, for the first time since its preorder launch last year, it’s hit an astonishing new low of approximately $61! This brings the cost down to just over $12 per book, a fantastic saving when you consider individual hardcover editions like ‘Sunrise on the Reaping’ at $19 and ‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’ at $17. For serious collectors seeking the entire hardcover saga, this box set is undeniably the smartest way to buy.

Of course, for those on a tighter budget, assembling a collection from used bookstores might offer a cheaper alternative. However, the true appeal of this box set lies in its presentation: a beautifully designed, collectible case perfect for displaying on your shelf, adorned with symbols from each book. While the books inside are standard hardcover editions – not as elaborate as the upcoming ‘Sunrise on the Reaping: Collector’s Edition’ due in November – this complete set offers significant value and a much more accessible price.
