This book ended right as it was picking up speed and i have to admit if the entire first third wasnt just recounting the end of the last book in jean's pov i think we would have gotten a lot more story out of this!! also jeremy's plotline was never resolved? it feels like the book ended 2/3 of the way through. 

this is a very fun book if you like soap operas and fanfictiony characterizations. genuinely had a great time

Fair warning, there are a lot of potential triggers in this story. After reading All for the Game—I expected to read pretty awful information in The Sunshine Court about what Jean had been through as a Raven. I knew I would, but it still hit me pretty hard when faced with the information. 

As far as the Trojans we get to know better—Laila, Cat, and Jeremy are definitely the people I’d want in my corner any day of the week. The characters stole a bit of the show in the original trilogy and I’m really glad to see more of them as they try to help Jean settle in. 

If you liked the original All for the Game trilogy then I think you’ll get more of what you’d expect out of this novel. Nora Sakavich is not in a rush to tell the entire story in one novel and I’m definitely intrigued to keep going.

I came for slow burn, found family, heartbreak and painful consistency in character creation, and that’s exactly what I received. It’s over the top, it’s unrealistic, it’s fanficky, it’s absolutely brilliant. Awful, DO IT AGAIN!

"I want you to play with us, and I want you to have fun again... You are going to be my success story: Jean Moreau the person, not Jean Moreau of the perfect Court."
