One of my comfort series. Have read it too many times to count. This is my favorite in the series. I love watching the Foxes band together and seeing Neil have a family.

He'd come to the Foxhole Court every inch a lie, but his friends made him into someone real.

who doesn't love an underdog story.

this entire series was a ride, but most especially this final installment. this book is packed and BAT SHIT, but gives way to a riveting buildup to the final showdown. i feel like things overall were tied up fairly well. andrew minyard and neil josten are probably the only characters i will ever suffer a mafia/underground crime plotline for. this is the most dysfunctional found family ever and i love them.

i need to go find any and all fan art and post-epilogue fan fic of this series now, thank you.

The ‘All For The Game’ series is a wild ride from start to finish with flawed, but lovable characters and a storyline that at first while it may seem a bit unrealistic, comes to grow on you. When I picked this up, it was because of a friend’s recommendation, but this series has grown on me. As I stated in my first review, these characters make me nostalgic for a younger-me, early 2010’s when I was broken and alone. Throughout this trilogy, you watch the characters grow and expand past the stereotypes that were cast on them originally and you get to see exactly why Wymack chose them as his foxes.

Not sure I have thoughts on this one. Took me one day to read when I should be revising to not fail my exams. Anyway.
This book (series) is very bad. Bad bad. I can’t even begin to LIST the triggers, everyone who said there were a lot was absolutely correct. Wasn’t expecting to be this repulsed after the “tame” first book.
The characters still don’t really have personalities (or very confusing one), the rep is MORE THAN PROBLEMATIC and I would like to punch someone because who in their right mind thought “this is an appropriate way to portray queer people and mental illness” 
I also don’t know what to do with my life now.

And just like that, I'm done. Can't believe it only took me a little over a week to finish a whole book series, for me that's quite incredible. The plot was as always a mess and I left my disbelieve and logical thinking on the doorstep before entering the third and final installment of this trilogy. It was just like I expected a hot mess. So much trauma, torture, mafia, made-up-sport matches, and death. But what can I say, as much as all my friends judge me for it, I had a good time. Still wouldn't recommend it to anyone, though.
