I did not look up the cover, I did not look up reviews or the summary, and I instead I got myself a digital version and began reading. My immediate thoughts went over to our lovable fox Lucien from the aforementioned series and the fact it had “Court” written on it. Maas’es A Court of Thorns and Roses and getting in return: Frequently asked questions “What is the Foxhole Court?”. To the point that fact is, I only found out about this book when googling J. Let’s get something super straight: I only read this book because of the name. Unlike Stiefvater’s The Raven Cycle, the prose is poor and non-existing, but it is what the book has to say that matter. This is also for those who don’t mind a book that’s average in its writting style at best, and instead is fully worth it because of its plot. This first book does not include a romantic subplot so those who are expecting that, at least in the first book, will find themselves disappointed. First and foremost, I apologize for doing two reviews of this type of “good but for a niche crowd” books back to back, but I find out and binge read this book yesterday-Ī book recommended for those who loved the Raven Cycle! Strongly character driven books with an assortment of original and complex characters taking the narrative along each character arc.

Recommendation: This book is great but it is once more, not for everyone. Misfits in their society coming together to become one great, holy mess- with nothing in common with great passion for a sport and terrible pasts of crime coming to haunt them. This is the moment you stop being the rabbit.”Ī marvelous character exploration on a team composed of broken, angry people. Whatever you think the Foxhole Court is, based on the blurb up there, it is much more than that.“Remember this feeling. Now that that has been said, lets get on with this. I am sorry for deserting you and for the double work you have to take on.

I know you (readers) might not have noticed that I was gone, but this is mainly to thank Manu, Amy and Rheez for keeping up with the blog while I have been away. I would like to start this review with an apology, for being away for so long. Maybe he’s finally found someone and something worth fighting for. Neil has survived the last eight years by running. One of Neil’s new teammates is a friend from his old life, and Neil can’t walk away from him a second time. His lies will hold up only so long under this kind of scrutiny and the truth will get him killed.īut Neil’s not the only one with secrets on the team. The team is high profile and he doesn’t need sports crews broadcasting pictures of his face around the nation. Signing a contract with the PSU Foxes is the last thing a guy like Neil should do. He’s short, he’s fast, he’s got a ton of potential-and he’s the runaway son of the murderous crime lord known as The Butcher.

Neil Josten is the newest addition to the Palmetto State University Exy team.
