It’s the mark of a great story when I start out hating a character, and by the end they have my heart. Still, it was a packed plot that I very much enjoyed.Ĭharacters: The character development throughout the three novels is my favorite aspect of this series. Despite how heartwarming the story does become, these are heavy books, and are NOT for the faint of heart. I simply could not put it down- except when the violence got so intense and explicit I had to avert my eyes from the words. Still, I very much enjoyed this book, and while this is the longest book in the series, I read it the fastest. Additionally, as I’ve expressed in my reviews of the last two books, I sometimes found details vague, as if I was missing key points to the plot and characters that the author understood, but I did not, which I had hoped to find more clarity on by the time I reached the end of the story. The scenes in between these two climaxes revert to the slower pace of the first half of the book, leaving me with the impression that this book could have benefited from being two novels. The first climax of the plot occurs about two thirds of the way through the book, and a second takes place at the end. The pacing, however, took a slight turn from the first two books. Plot: The plot in this book is fierce and frightening when Neil isn’t having warm, fuzzy feelings of friendship for his teammates and, particularly, for his formerly drugged and alleged sociopathic teammate Andrew, which progresses into one of the most unique romances I’ve ever read. But Coach gave me keys to the court, and you told me to stay.

“It’s always been ‘lie’ and ‘hide’ and ‘disappear.’ I’ve never belonged anywhere or had the right to call anything my own. One sentence summary: The once disjointed Foxes are on a path to victory, and when Neil’s violent past begins winding its way back to him he finds he doesn’t want to run anymore. The King’s Men by Nora Sakavic ( All For the Game #3) / My rating: ★★★★☆
