“Remember this feeling. This is the moment you stop being the rabbit.”
For a 3,5-star read (that I rated 5 stars because I can), this book had no business being so addicting. The only reason I picked this up is because somehow my search page on Instagram was suddenly full of fan art for AFTG. Not sure, but I'm convinces the Goddess had decided my TBR wasn't long enough yet.
The writing is good, not great, the plot is kind of all over the place and don't expect me to be able to explain in explicit detail what the heck Exy is. Thankfully, the Foxhole Court fandom had my back and without too much extensive desk research, I feel like I can actually understand the game through Sakavic's writing.
“Money greases the wheels of the world easier than blood does, and Riko has access to both.”
Will definitely continue this series. Might get them in paperback so I can reread them at some point. That point might arrive in 2022.
PS: DO NOT search for a lot of info or fan art on Google or you favourite search engine. You will get spoiled.

even if the plot themes might be controversial, something that can't be denied is how well-written the story is. the writing style is very similar to maggie stiefvater's in 'the raven cycle' books, so if you're a fan of those, i'd give this one a shot :)
i did enjoy the story itself. it is well structured and it evolves at a good pace, never too obvious but hinting at what's coming next. the characters are original and come in nicely together, as a group they're very well balanced and developed. the sport side of the story is a clever counterpoint to the other sub plots, and i personally really enjoy how it compliments all the drama that the characters inherently carry with them. it lets the story breathe while also keeping a steady pace.
this is a very violent story though. maybe not that much in this first book, but it gets heavier as the plot progresses in the next ones. there's trauma, there's physical, sexual and emotional abuse, there's guns and knives and torture and self harm. if you're ok with these and are up for a dense, emotional tale, then you found the one.
