It’s much darker than I anticipated. Not gruesome, just dark. There’s a lot of abuse – on and off page – but it didn’t feel as bad as other, less dark books I tried to read.
I don’t think I’d like to see Exy as a sport (I hate the NHL because I find it too violent), but on the context of the book it’s quite interesting.
I’m looking forward to book 2, and trying to figure out how that ship everyone talks about will get to happen (if it’s even canon, cause right now it makes no sense to me that those two could have a romantic relationship).

I…. I should have read the trigger warnings beforehand, so I wouldn’t be surprised, that’s on me 😬😬
But… like… Neil is… he just needs to be protected, and the foxes are built different. That’s a compliment (I think).
The development that the relationship between Neil and the foxes,
The ending is weird… like, the last chapter didn’t felt like a last chapter, the only thing it felt like an ending was the final quote (which, cute), but I strongly recommend having the second book at hand to start immediately after finishing this one.

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

Note: this book is VERY, VERY dark!! Please look at the content warnings because this book deals with a lot of triggers and trama.
