#FOXHOLE COURT TRILOGY SERIES#

The majority of words spoken by the main character, Neil, are just explanations of the plot.

What differs AFTG from other books is not only its mind-numbing violence but its choppy and unnatural dialogue. Is AFTG’s plot so mind blowing that it warrants creating a new genre of postmodern literature? No. I cared about every detail that was driving the plot forward, but at the beginning of the third book my patience snapped.Įven the characters who made a point of standing off to the side and proclaiming “I don’t care about this plot!” cared more about the plot than I did.īefore starting this trilogy, I read a Goodreads review claiming this trilogy was like no other book. Considering that I would have already lit any other sports book on fire, this is quite an accomplishment.įor the first two books, I was all in. When Nora Sakavic gave her explanation of how Exy is played in the epilogue of the first book, I even skimmed it. However, I got through a good amount of this trilogy. I don’t like watching them, I don’t like writing about them, and I usually don’t like reading about them. Everything about sports - going outside, getting sweaty, talking to people - is bad for me.

The characters abuse drugs/alcohol and are pretty messed up + violent.

He joins an Exy team at Palmetto State University.

He has a troubled past and a secret identity. This review is my attempt to tell the uninitiated what to expect. Maybe he’s finally found someone and something worth fighting for.I first discovered Nora Sakavic’s All For the Game trilogy from a mood board on my Tumblr dash.Ĭombining the factors of people’s reactions to it, the canon demisexual character, and the general aesthetic of the book itself, I started reading it a few hours later.Īlthough I expected extreme violence, there are many aspects of Nora Sakavic’s All For The Game trilogy that were just…weird. 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. I would love to read more from this author. Probably hard to find the proper reading audience as it is difficult to categorize and package. Really brilliant, imaginative, and fascinating.

They are also about a college age team of misfits who are trying to find their second chance at a life and success. Hard to describe these books, they are dark, sports related, suspenseful, only overtly M/M romance in the latter half, twisting, and violent. I think some of your readers would love them…here is my GR review of the final book in the series… Strange comparison for me as the only things in common were the rivalries and the similar age of characters and lite m/m, but I am so glad I found it. It was a goodreads recommendation after Carry On by Rainbow Rowell. It is only overt M/M romance in the latter part of the trilogy. It was like a very dark NA bad-news Bears type sports story with no romance. I didn’t know what to make of the first book, it was a bit of a mess establishing characters and a bit of their backgrounds. The All for the Game trilogy that starts with Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavic. Jennifer: Maryse I wanted to share with you a trilogy that blew me away.
