![]() Maybe he's finally found someone and something worth fighting for. Neil has survived the last eight years by running. One of Neil's new teammates is a friend from his old life, and Neil can't walk away from him a second time. His lies will hold up only so long under this kind of scrutiny and the truth will get him killed.īut Neil's not the only one with secrets on the team. The team is high profile and he doesn't need sports crews broadcasting pictures of his face around the nation. Signing a contract with the PSU Foxes is the last thing a guy like Neil should do. He's short, he's fast, he's got a ton of potential-and he's the runaway son of the murderous crime lord known as The Butcher. Neil Josten is the newest addition to the Palmetto State University Exy team. The Foxes would be okay, at least, and that was more than enough.The Foxhole Court (All for the Game Book 1)Ĭlick here to see full product information : CLICK HERE I thought A Court of Mist and Fury gave me a terrible book hangover, but this might be the series that gives you the ultimate book hangover that can only be solved by re-reading the entire series. All these characters felt so real that they just jumped off the page. ![]() I just want a story of the Foxes for the next four years, playing Exy, Court, and just LIFE in general. They were notorious in the NCAA both for their tiny size and for getting ranked dead-last three years running. ![]() The Foxes rallying together, especially when they were so fractured and broken in the beginning, is so lovely to see and I’m just so sad that the story is over. His decision to turn the Foxhole Court into a halfway house of sorts was nice in theory, but it meant his players were fractured isolationists who couldn't get along long enough to get through a game. I feel like I need this sport in my life, but only if there are teams like the Foxes or USC and not like the Ravens. This book has made me fall in love with a sport that doesn’t even exist. It was such a relief it was frightening Neil hadn’t meant to lean on Andrew so much.Įxy. I was blown away that Andrew and Neil were the ones to develop a functioning, healthy relationship.įor the first time in months he could finally breathe again. We are given several scenes that gets reiterated explicitly over and over between Neil and Andrew, that saying “yes” once, doesn’t mean saying “yes” to everything from that point forward. Both parties need to consent to each other’s advances and know when “no” means no. You really don’t read this in books enough. There is one thing that comes up constantly in the The King’s Men: CONSENT. Their scenes are filled with sexual tension and their scenes together are hot. The relationship blossomed in the second book, but Nora Sakavic really rewards you in this book for your patience. It’s almost blink-and-you-miss it moment in The Foxhole Court. They come from the most devastating traumatic backgrounds and honestly, I thought Neil and Kevin were end-game when I read the first book. There are happier moments, and it’s a sigh of relief when a character can forget looming threats and just be content, if not happy. We’re read about violence on the Exy court during games and the characters certainly have traumatic, violent histories that are alluded to, but violence and torture take on a whole new meaning when it’s actually happening right in front of your eyes. I thought the book had reached a dark point in The Raven King, but this book proved me wrong. The question is, what DIDN’T happen? In the span of one year starting with The Foxhole Court, the story is packed with fantastic character development, the slowest of all slow burning book relationships, and one of the most heart-wrenching, nerve-wracking storylines I’ve ever read. The King’s Men is an epic, mind-blowing whirlwind of an ending. The following review was originally published on Goodreads June 18, 2016. The truth might get them all killed-or be Neil’s one shot at getting out of this alive. He’s got promises to keep and a team to get to championships if he can just outrun Riko a little longer, but Riko’s not the only monster in Neil’s life. If they both say it doesn’t mean anything, maybe Neil won’t regret losing it, but the one person Neil can’t lie to is himself. Neil should know better than to get involved with anyone this close to the end, but Andrew’s never been the easiest person to walk away from. He knew when he came to PSU he wouldn’t survive the year, but with his death right around the corner he’s got more reasons than ever to live.īefriending the Foxes was inadvisable.
