5.0

This series is absolutely unhinged, bordering on offensive, but something about it just works. The mix of intriguing characters, simple writing with lyrical parts, a plot with twists that are so over the top intense, and a constant feeling of mystery and suspense, just WORKS, even though it has no right to. The over-the-top-ness makes a bit more sense when remembering this was supposed to  be a manga in its origins, but I for one am glad it made it into book form.

Sports plots aren't usually something that draws me, but the team dynamics, and the sports obsession as a background and driving motivation for the characters worked out very well.

For anyone interested in this, please check out content warnings first. The first book is already intense but starts comparatively tame. Going to  include content warnings for all books in the series for this one.

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
