Every character has their own issues, which is explored skilfully. All the characters on the Foxes are complex and problematical people: there’s Kevin, an Exy-obsessed Striker who is considered the rightful property of another Exy team the twins, Aaron and Andrew, one who despises Exy and the teammates, and the other who is so high he doesn’t even know what day it is Nicky, their cousin, who’s family once tried to ‘cure’ him of his homosexuality Dan, the captain who has struggled for years to prove herself because she’s a woman Matt, a former drug addict Renee, a former gang member turned born-again Christian and Seth and Allison, a former drug addict and a former billionaire heiress who turned her back on her family to play Exy.Īll of these characters are given equal screen time so we fall in love with this difficult, rag-tag group of nobodies. “It’s time to fly.”įor such a short novel, this novel digs deep into the plot and character development. “Then it’s time to stop being the worst,” Wymack said. One of Niel’s new teammates is someone from his old life and Neil knows he can’t walk away from him again. Neil shouldn’t be allowing himself to undergo this kind of scrutiny, not with his father still searching for him, but Neil isn’t the only one on the team with secrets.
The Palmetto Foxes are the dregs of the dregs of society, all former drug-users and teenagers who have experienced the very worst life has to offer – and they are also the worst team in the NCAA. Neil is recruited to the Palmetto State University Exy team and, despite settling down being the absolute last thing he should do, Neil can’t stop himself from accepting.
Neil Josten, the son of a notorious crime lord, has spent the past eight years of his life on the run from his murderous father. The plot was unlike anything I had come across before. For some reason, this novel heavily appeals to fans of The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater* and, as a fan of the latter series, I thought it was beyond time I finally saw what the fuss surrounding All for the Game was about. The Foxhole Court, the first book in the All for the Game trilogy by Nora Sakavic, has been haunting me for over a year on Tumblr. This is the moment you stop being the rabbit.”
