That being said, I did read them twice in the space of a week so how am I not supposed to give them 5 stars
Solid over-the-top everything with a fake sport, real rivalry, and 2 guys shoving each other around

even if the plot themes might be controversial, something that can't be denied is how well-written the story is. the writing style is very similar to maggie stiefvater's in 'the raven cycle' books, so if you're a fan of those, i'd give this one a shot :)
i did enjoy the story itself. it is well structured and it evolves at a good pace, never too obvious but hinting at what's coming next. the characters are original and come in nicely together, as a group they're very well balanced and developed. the sport side of the story is a clever counterpoint to the other sub plots, and i personally really enjoy how it compliments all the drama that the characters inherently carry with them. it lets the story breathe while also keeping a steady pace.
this is a very violent story though. maybe not that much in this first book, but it gets heavier as the plot progresses in the next ones. there's trauma, there's physical, sexual and emotional abuse, there's guns and knives and torture and self harm. if you're ok with these and are up for a dense, emotional tale, then you found the one.

Important: Do NOT take this as me recommending the series. Unless you’re my friend and you’re funny.

Honestly, this book is just mostly vibes. I feel like if I was looking at this book with a more critical lens I would give it a lower rating. But since I'm rating this book off of vibes, I'm giving it a 5/5 rating.
I'm excited to continue reading this series and see all of the character development with the foxes. I'm also scared to keep reading because I heard it gets more intense.
