The writing style is a tad better, the characters aren't that stereotypical anymore, but it's still not really good.
The development and the stories of every single Fox tho, that's what actually makes these books so good, seeing them growing as a found family, overcoming their past struggles and helping eachother through them, that's what makes these books as good as they are.
This book starts a bit slow and turns into a rollercoaster of emotions, it prepares everything for the last book while being better than the first installment of the series. It's not the best, but so much better than the first and makes you really fall in love with the characters!

Si je déplore les mêmes défauts qu'au 1er tome (notamment la présentation de l'historique entier d'un personnage par un autre, sans que le principal concerné soit là), et un ou deux chapitre qui m'ont dérangée parce qu'ils donnaient une impression de voyeurisme "gratuit" de situation de détresse, ce n'était pas si mal. On s'attache à ces personnages presque malgré nous et une fois que les règles du sport saisies, j'ai pris plaisir à lire les chapitres de match.
On sent toujours cette origine du web, et je me demande si l'autrice n'a pas tout écrit d'une traite. Je trouve les chapitres un peu longs, mais cela reste assez addictif.

This book has plenty of whump as Neil firmly plants himself into this dysfunctional family, thus constantly putting himself in harm's way for the Foxes. And then there is the fact that everyone knows about Neil's budding relationship except for him.
Violence and trauma are in large abundance in this one; read all trigger warnings.
