My list applies for the entire series. Absolutely not for the faint of heart, take care of yourself. If literally any of this bothers you, do NOT read this or any other book in the series, I am so serious.ephemeral_remi's review against another edition

There’s something about seeing your ugly parts you’ve hidden being reflected so honestly in a book and being told you can still win and be a team and be a champion and leave the things you don’t want and move on and you don’t have to be soft, you can be ugly and callused and you’ll find your people who understand and know and are doing the same and they will love you and you will love them and that’s what it’s about.

Literally so many horrible things propelling all of the characters and their relationships but the overarching plot is that they are all (except for Andrew) desperate to play this sport that consumes their lives and gives them purpose. To the point they’re willing to face off against gangs and their horrible pasts barreling towards them for the chance to make this team legendary. They are all deeply traumatized and have terrible coping mechanisms and take it out on each other frequently. But they are also a team, and they will not let one of their number be taken away.jeanvaljeune's review against another edition

Se vienen cositas.
Me encanta la dinamica de chosen family y la manera en la que, aunque se esten peleando, se unen como uno en los partidos. Espero que en los siguientes libros se desarrolle la relacion de todos, aunque, algunas cosas se pasaron muy a la ligera para mi gusto. En general me ha encantado y tengo muchas ganas de seguir leyendo sobre ellos. Esperando que en el segundo libro Andrew y Neil arreglen la tension palpante...
/SPOILER/
Y bueno sobre Seth...im not saying he deserve it but gods timing is always right
