I was genuinely sad when I reached the end of this book. I know that there is a fourth book in this series, but this is the last book in Neil's POV, and I am genuinely going to miss him!

This book was the best in the series so far. Everything comes to a head in this book, all the things we have been waiting for come to fruition - for good and for bad. To be vague, Neil's past catches up to him and his present still causes problems, and throughout the book you're left wondering who is doing what and who should Neil be looking over his shoulder for. This is mixed with Neil's desire to just live his life and enjoy what he has left, with the tragic knowledge that he isn't going to be alive in a few months.

The foxes come together more than they ever have before, and I loved seeing how the team dynamics and relationships continued to develop.

Neil and Andrew finally get together - which is fantastic and well done with consideration of their trauma and also their deep love for each other (whether they - Andrew - will admit to it or not). Neil's father finally shows up and it is as horrible as you can imagine, but the resolution is very satisfying. Kevin finally stands up for himself against Riko, shedding his fears and standing on his own. And Riko finally gets what is coming for him.

I am so glad that they have a happy ending, because after everything they deserve it. And even after all the very heavy topics in this book, we get something hopeful to leave these characters with.

Great book, great series. Short, easy read but also very addicting and engrossing.

Again - heed the warnings.

The King's Men continues to be one of my favourite books of all time. I will always remember when I first read these books and when I finished TFC it came up to buy TRK and then when I finished TRK it came up to buy TKM and I did so without hesitation and now, twenty rereads later, I immediately start the next one because these books are so addictive. Are they well written? No.is the representation good? Not really but these books are my home. They saved my life back in 2019, they are so beyond special to me and this book in particular just heals me and soothes my soul. I know when things are bad I can put this in my headphones and things feel okay again.

There are so many parts of this book that I love SO SO much. The development of Neil's relationships with both Kevin and Andrew, the way Coach tells Neil that he's saved this team and bought them all together and he trusts him enough to captain the team, Kevin finally letting himself start to heal, the iconic I've never been skiing interview, "fight because you don't know how to die quietly", Kevin and his tattoo that I also have tattooed, the end, so many things in this book just mean so much to me and so much of it makes me sob my eyes out and god I could talk about it forever.

Kevin "I've never been skiing" Day my absolute son, light of my life!! Kevin in this book, I just love him so fucking much. The way from the start you can see his development the way he wants to help Neil heal from what he went through over Christmas and then the way he stands up for himself more, the way we have that iconic interview where he says how he never should have been a Raven, the way he completely ignores Riko when they face each other in the final game, HIS LEFT HAND, the fact it's so important hes the one who scores that final goal. Kevin is just an incredible human and his development makes me so god damn happy. Kevin day is honestly that character I can talk about all day everyday and every single time I reread these books I become happier I've chosen to carry a piece of him on my skin forever in tattoo form.

All of the foxes just come into themselves in this book. The way they absolutely rally around Neil especially after Baltimore just makes my heart absolutely burst, they truly are a family, they love each other so much and would absolutely do anything for each other. They are my favourite found family, they deserve nothing but the world and I'm so glad they got that in the end.

Again, I know these books aren't well written but they are special to me. They will always be special to me and knowing I can return to them always makes me so, so happy. Bring on book four, Jean deserves to tell his story. Plus Jean and Jeremy are my second and third favourite aftg characters so I am: excited.

“you are a fox,” andrew said, like it was that simple, and maybe it was.

queria conseguir mostrar a quantidade de adesivos que coloquei pra cada cena que me deixa emocionada. é absurdo como depois de anos eu ainda sinto que to sempre lendo pela primeira vez, sem conseguir evitar de chorar e de ficar arrepiada com o que acontece. conhecer meus foxes com certeza uma das melhores coisas que me aconteceu, e literalmente me salvou. fico feliz de poder ver e acompanhar a história deles e de como se encontraram e formaram uma família assim. te amo foxes te amo

ps: primeira vez lendo depois de saber sobre sunshine court e não to me aguentando de ansiedade. simplesmente amar jeremy knox e jean moreau
