I've read a lot of great books this year, but this one was different. It's not my normal type of book at all because it's much darker and more violent than I prefer (please check the trigger warnings!!), but I still couldn't put it down. The Foxes made me love them in spite of their problems and violent tendencies, and Exy intrigued me even though I don't think I'd ever watch it if it was real. No hints of romance (yet), but I know it'll come in the later books and I can't wait.
I had heard before I read it that the plot doesn't always make sense, and that's fair for a book about a fictional sport and the Japanese mob, but honestly I thought it'd be a bit crazier; the only time I was really surprised (again, taking into account the extreme premise) was when Seth overdosed because it was so abrupt.

The depiction of mental illness is a little iffy at times, and the way the author describes the effects of an anti-psychotic prescription drug doesn’t seem realistic to me (as I have never taken an anti-psychotic, I don’t know exactly what the effects are).
Its important to remember that this series is incredibly dramatic, and the content reflects that! It strays from realism a lot, and has elements that seem unrealistic, but if you view the series as a drama, it makes more sense!
