I didn’t enjoy certain use of slurs and got confused a lot but I loved it besides that and had a great time reading this!

stardustandrockets's review against another edition

I don't know how to feel about this book. It was okay?? I don't really see why people are so obsessed with it. Will I continue? Probably. But it's eh.

It's great to read about a sport no one knows about before reading. Puts everyone more level.

I went into the foxhole court excited for the romance I had heard so much about. While the romance did not come much into play in the first installment, the character development and complexities of the foxes has me hooked.
That being said, there were a few things I had issues with. For one, slurs are used repeatedly for no reason, which makes reading this feel uncomfortable. Additionally,

Nicky’s assault on Neil was just brushed over?? And

the plot ebbs and flows, with some parts being a bit confusing.

challenging dark emotional mysterious tense slow-paced

3.5

This one may have been a little overly hyped for me. I was not overly invested in the story until the very end (at which point I was absolutely reaching for Raven King) The book starts with the reader as lost and confused as Neil seems to be (I'm pretty sure this was intentional though, and I just don't like not knowing what is going on, so it is likely a me thing). The book as a whole felt like a lot of setup, and the whole club scene made me a lot uncomfortable. As a sports person, I would have also loved a basic Exy explainer in this book.

ALL OF THIS being said, I am fully writing this review after having plowed through the rest of these books and it was absolutely worth it to work through this one to get to the next two (I haven't done sunshine court yet)
