i feel like a 10-rate scale makes more sense. this was fun. i dont think its generally a literary piece but its one of those books that is so easy to binge, entertaining, has enough background lore and intriguing characters. its excellent for reading slumps and just wanting to sit and read a book that doesn't need effort.

As you will probably read in several reviews: people generally do not recommend this book despite giving it 5/5 stars. It’s a fun read, one that I have read over and over again, but it’s not without its flaws. Be sure to read the warnings others post. 

Describing The Foxhole Court (and The All for the Game series as a whole) is difficult. It’s decently written, with interesting character studies; the plot is fairly ridiculous, and borderline non-sensical, but all in all it’s fun. It’s the CW show of your sport’s books.

This book contains use of the “r”-word, as well as terms used to describe disability that are not okay. It also has non-consensual drug use/kissing.
