Summary

Book 2 of All for the Game; The Raven King follows The Foxhole Court

The Foxes are a fractured mess， but their latest disaster might be the miracle they've always needed to come together as a team。 The one person standing in their way is Andrew， and the only one who can break through his personal barriers is Neil。

Except Andrew doesn't give up anything for free and Neil is terrible at trusting anyone but himself。 The two don't have much time to come to terms with their situation before outside forces start tearing them apart。 Riko is intent on destroying Neil's fragile new life， and the Foxes have just become collateral damage。

Neil's days are numbered， but he's learning the hard way to go down fighting for what he believes in， and Neil believes in Andrew even if Andrew won't believe in himself。

4。5 stars。 i love a good fruity， sport story。 it’s kinda like haikyuu except edgier and sad and more cops and violence…。 so not really like haikyuu but u know lol

I don’t know what it is about books where characters are brought to their last breath and keep fighting that make me feel so motivated。 This one was exhausting to read， but in a good way。 The writing could still use some work。

This was much better than the 1st one。 There's only one thing I gotta complain and that is that the author describes everything and that is completely unnecessary。 Specially because all these descriptions do not move the story forward。 I love their development and how much we've gotten to know the characters。 We finally learned more of their past history and Neil's real name。 It made me cry twice。 That end， had me bawling。 Look up Trigger Warnings if you wanna read it。 This was much better than the 1st one。 There's only one thing I gotta complain and that is that the author describes everything and that is completely unnecessary。 Specially because all these descriptions do not move the story forward。 I love their development and how much we've gotten to know the characters。 We finally learned more of their past history and Neil's real name。 It made me cry twice。 That end， had me bawling。 Look up Trigger Warnings if you wanna read it。 。。。more

This book was definitely better than the first but still not quite my cup of tea。 Nora Sakavic's style of writing makes no sense to me。 It's not like it's artistic， it's just weird。 With that being said I actually somewhat enjoyed the book because the plot is actually decently interesting。 It's also extremely far-fetched and ridiculous， but hey。 I definitely felt like I was able to understand the characters better in this second book and their motivations for how they act。 But still， a lot of it This book was definitely better than the first but still not quite my cup of tea。 Nora Sakavic's style of writing makes no sense to me。 It's not like it's artistic， it's just weird。 With that being said I actually somewhat enjoyed the book because the plot is actually decently interesting。 It's also extremely far-fetched and ridiculous， but hey。 I definitely felt like I was able to understand the characters better in this second book and their motivations for how they act。 But still， a lot of it was really strange。 One part that I really liked was when Neil said that the team was "finding parts of him no disguise could change。" Like how he hated vegetables， movies， and loud music and his favorite color was gray。 It was interesting me to think about how some things about a person that are accidents， are still unchangeable and how some things don't change， even for Neil who changes his name， his face， his history。 I loved seeing Andrew gradually trust Neil more and more and how Neil was pretty much the only one Andrew would ever listen to。 And then after the Andrew and Drake situation when Neil tries to see if Andrew even cares。 And Andrew is so high on his meds and he's like see Neil？ I don't care about anything。 I feel like the ending was so anticlimactic and it really seemed like the author just got tired of writing and then was like yeah so Neil goes to Evermore and gets tortured and comes back。 The End。 But I have to read the next book cuz I can't wait to see Andrew off of his meds。 。。。more

This is the most absurd horse-shit I’ve read in a very long time！ Nothing about this book makes any sense at all。 I don’t even have the energy to go into all that is wrong with this book。 If you really REALLY REALLY want to know what’s wrong with this （besides the fact that the author should be hospitalized for life just for fantasizing about this psychotic mess）， I suggest that you read Paulas one star review from 5 years ago because I honestly don’t want to spend another moment on this shite！！ This is the most absurd horse-shit I’ve read in a very long time！ Nothing about this book makes any sense at all。 I don’t even have the energy to go into all that is wrong with this book。 If you really REALLY REALLY want to know what’s wrong with this （besides the fact that the author should be hospitalized for life just for fantasizing about this psychotic mess）， I suggest that you read Paulas one star review from 5 years ago because I honestly don’t want to spend another moment on this shite！！！ 。。。more

I preferred this book much better to the previous one。 Was not expecting the dark turn towards murder， rape， torture， abuse， it added to the story and history of the characters。 The development of the characters was phenomenal。 From the first book I had assumed the wrong person for Neil's love interest。 Im excited （sad） to see how it ends in the last book， what Andrew is like off his drugs， and hoping the slow painful demise of Riko。 I preferred this book much better to the previous one。 Was not expecting the dark turn towards murder， rape， torture， abuse， it added to the story and history of the characters。 The development of the characters was phenomenal。 From the first book I had assumed the wrong person for Neil's love interest。 Im excited （sad） to see how it ends in the last book， what Andrew is like off his drugs， and hoping the slow painful demise of Riko。 。。。more

it’s up to us to fight for what we want with everything we’ve got。”“They’d come to the Foxhole Court as fractured messes but they were fixing each other one semester at a time”This book really notched every aspect of the first book up by… a lot。 It was fun and adrenaline fuelled but it was dark and twisted at the same time， there were some really hard parts to read and process- now I understand the major trigger warnings。 I always struggle to like the second book in any series， I always find them boring or just lacking， it’s always a rare occasion when I do like them， and this is one of those occasions。 I really enjoy Sakavic’s writing， and her characters continue to interest me as again， as I mentioned from the first book， they’re so refreshingly different。 I really enjoyed getting to learn more about the characters and enjoy them more and seeing how they change and how their dynamics change in the team- especially Neil， Kevin and Andrew。 I love how， despite all their extreme differences， there’s a weird but effective dysfunctional support network and I love this in this found family trope。 It makes me feel so happy reading how fiercely everyone protects and looks out for each other。 I also really appreciate Wymack’s character and the chance of freedom he gives his team to do what they need to do to cope and survive。 I just love this team and I want the Ravens away from them and let them be safe and happy in their own company damnit， just let them tease Neil about his clothes， place bets on each other and play Exy in relative peace- PLEASE！I really enjoyed the game-playing aspects this time round， I really love the build up to the game and the tension and energy of the stadium and the adrenaline as the team plays and hits full force on the opposing team。 I’m not into sports， or sports fiction， but damn I lived for this。 I really loved seeing the team begin to connect as we learn their various backgrounds and how they ended up on the Foxes team of “rejects”， it made me appreciate all the characters I may have not so much cared about in the first book。 Everyone’s shit scared in their own ways， but they pull through together， whether they get on or not。 Bless Neil for being shocked at being included more in the team- helping him overcome trauma， acknowledging/respecting need for stalls to shower， helping with classes and socialising， recognising likes， dislikes and boundaries- he’s really part of the team now whether he likes it or not。After the Exy banquet。。。 The Ravens scare me， I hate them。 Cold hearted， too perfect tormentors。 I want to give Kevin a hug。 Kevin and Neil are the same， both cornered with the game also being their lifeline and they’re stuck in this together。 I’m scared for them。 I love Andrew’s fierce protection of them。 The implications Riko reveals is… oh boy book three is going to be messy， isn’t it？I feel like this book feels like it had a heavier base on Andrew （and Aaron’s？） character。 We learn a lot more about his and Aaron’s backstory/up-bringing， Sakavic brings more out of Andrew than a guy high on drugs with a deadly attitude。 I mean- he helped Matt get off drugs， he helped Aaron even though Aaron doesn’t like what he did， he comes of his meds to help win games， he’s gay （instant good point ahaha） and tried to stop his adoptive mother taking in more kids because of her son Drake。 I absolutely hated learning that aspect of Andrew’s backstory， it’s messed up and it was hard for me to read， it took me a re-read to process and realise what was happening。 Poor Aaron though， the realisation when everything made sense killed him。 Neil is so precious in this book， he suddenly finds he’s not alone and doesn’t want to be alone， the ending broke my heart。Honourable mention to Nicky’s character， didn’t know what to make of him in the first book but I truly appreciated him in this one， I really liked him and everything he’s done to try help/support his cousins and the team， especially trying to worm his way through Neil’s walls to help him。Also， I now see why Andrew and Neil are a ship （and… I assume a couple later？）， the fuelled tension in some of the scenes or the way they work on each other， no one can influence/sway Andrew yet Neil can and Andrew has a way of getting Neil to do what needs to be done。I LOVE THIS PROTECTIVE AND SUPPORTIVE GROUP OF IDIOTS。 PLEASE DON’T HURT THEM ANYMORE。Again here’s the playlist of songs I listen to as I read， they go with some of the scenes really well- https://www。youtube。com/watch？v=wEFJr。。。 。。。more

With Seth gone， the Foxes barely have enough players to qualify to play the rest of the season。 Their game against Riko and the Ravens looms on the horizon， but， as usual， there's plenty of drama within the Foxes too。 Andrew may know some of Neil's secrets， but there's still plenty he needs to keep hidden。Once again， this book is not my usual "type" but I finished it in a day and a half （and would have been faster but sometimes you need to take a break from that much darkness and violence， you k With Seth gone， the Foxes barely have enough players to qualify to play the rest of the season。 Their game against Riko and the Ravens looms on the horizon， but， as usual， there's plenty of drama within the Foxes too。 Andrew may know some of Neil's secrets， but there's still plenty he needs to keep hidden。Once again， this book is not my usual "type" but I finished it in a day and a half （and would have been faster but sometimes you need to take a break from that much darkness and violence， you know？）。 （view spoiler）[It was all well and good and I was happy picking up Andreil crumbs （there's still not much， can't wait for the next book） until I got absolutely smacked in the face with Drake's murder。 Let me tell you， I was not expecting that， and I had to put the book down for a minute （like I said， violence really isn't my thing。。。can someone please tell me why I enjoy these books so much？？）。 As homicidal as Andrew is， I just want to protect him from everything bad in the world （can't wait for Neil to start doing that job for me！）。 The ending hurt but it's okay because I already have the next book ready to go。。。 （hide spoiler）] I can already tell I'm going to have the worst book hangover ever。Happy ending meter （no spoilers， just the general vibe）: （view spoiler）[Absolutely not happy in the slightest。 Thank god there's another book and it's already out so I don't have to wait。 （hide spoiler）] 。。。more
