I cannot, in good conscience, give this book a 5 star read because, like all of her books, it’s probably objectively not good. Does that stop me from going absolutely apeshit crazy over it? Absolutely not. I love this book. I love this dumb trilogy. Kevin Day is the light of my life and no I will not be taking questions at this time.

2024 Reread: This is still one of the best books that I think I’ve ever read. It was such a roller coaster of emotions and just when you think it can’t get any more dramatic, it does. I loved how Neil and Andrew weren’t subtle in the least and yet people were still shocked by them being together. It just made me giggle. I also loved how the Foxes rallied around Neil after everything that he had been through. It was so sweet to see them bonding and really cementing the rag-tag found family thing that they had going on. Honestly, this is just such a good book and it’s getting a solid five stars.

Original 2020 review: The Kings Men was an absolutely wild ride from start to finish. This one really came after my feelings with a vengeance. It’s pulled me in so many different directions emotionally that I’m almost speechless over it.

I really loved all the angst that this book had to offer. This book hit hard and kept hitting right until the end. I also just loved how casually Andrew and Neil’s relationship comes up at the most inopportune time. They weren’t necessarily hiding it, but it was so funny to see the whole team’s reaction to finding out about them. It was just the right amount of fluff to counterbalance all the trauma and angst of the rest of the book.

I think the only things that I would have liked a little more of in this book was Ichirou and Neil’s uncle Stuart. I feel like they could have been a little more involved with the story rather than just a background kinda thing. I also would have loved a little more of Jean. But I’m not gonna be picky.

There was just so much going on in The Kings Men. I desperately wish that this wasn’t the end of the series. This book put me through the wringer and I loved every minute of it. This one is getting a solid five stars.
