This book is, not unlike the full series, not very good objectively, but it's so fun. The characters are funny and interesting and lovable, and there are a lot of missed opportunities when it comes to cool scenes that could have happened and should have happened but that's what fanfiction is for!

i enjoyed this so much. the writing style isn’t the best, but there is just something so engaging about the characters and the story. i have no idea about any of the rules of exy still, but i’m a fan.

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.
