Halfway through inputting the content warnings, I realized it might be faster to point out which ones don’t apply.

Content warnings aside, I’m still gonna read the third book.

This is why reading foxhole was worth it holy hell. Foxhole is good but mostly building blocks that fall into place to leave me sobbing at 2 am.
Heed tw for this one and I am screaming 

5 stars for the found family and aggressive c!Tommy vibes Neal brings to the table lmao

I can't say that I wasn't expecting the series to get darker but good lord did this book get gruesome. I could definitely feel more of a story structure here and I couldn't put it down once the plot really started to kick in. The growing relationships between Neil and the rest of the Foxes was sweet to see but of course, it's his slow and almost sweet development with Andrew that really makes The Raven King a good read for me. I'll definitely be holding onto my wits with the last book.
