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.

The first book I’ve picked up in over a year and it utterly consumed me! Always been a sucker for found family and the “monsters” wormed their way into my heart.

After reading these books 3 years ago for the first time, I was absolutely sure that I would never re-read them. After years of not being able to get them out of my head and obsessing over the characters, here I am.

While the series has its flaws, the handling of some serious and dark topics in particular, I still think that it is incredibly well written, and has some of the most compelling characters I've ever seen.

This book is funny (I forgot just how funny Andrew is, in particular). Neil Josten is one of my favourite characters of all time, and I love how we're clearly seeing everything through his skewed point of view.

Beware of trigger warnings though, especially since the amount of violence goes up in the following books.

I did not think I was going to like this book, but I swear the author found a way to lace a book with drugs because this was seriously addictive
