the whole team slowly getting close to each other, andrew slowly starting to trust neil and not holding back and them starting a (complicated) relationship 3
this is the best enemies to lovers slowburn hard pining i hate everyone but u extreme version book ive read
its also the best book out of the whole trilogy !! there wasnt rly much happening in the previous ones but this one covered the story really well
i INHALED this book in a night and i couldnt stop reading shaking crying screaming i need more andreil i need a movie or series adaption @netflix
i also found most of the characters likable ! they all had a depth in their pain and together they managed to start healing and became a family
i just feel like the author couldve squished in like 20-30 more pages just so we could see where andreil's relationship was going and what happened after the game and maybe like a few pages of just happiness bc the characters deserve nothing less
and also there were quite a few times when the description took too long and i wasnt rly invested in most of the exy games BUT IT WAS ALL WORTH IT
happy pride to andrew and neil

i'm so satisfied. every time i re-read this trilogy and especially this last book in it, the feeling i'm filled to the brim with by the end is complete satisfaction. & i'll be real real here - if a story can give me this feeling as i turn the last page on its back then i really don't care what anyone else has to say about it. i'm saying this mostly because since 2013 the all for the game series went through a slight progression of being seen as a wholly flawless read to most of us seeing the flaws as we grew together on each re-read in almost a decade. but even though there are flaws one thing still hasn't changed - it still reigns as one of the best reads i've ever touched, regardless. and i believe that's truly one of the strongest writings i've ever encountered, there's just something so utterly gripping about this series it's undeniable in its entirety.
book-hangovers are always a sign of a good story well-read, but it's really a special experience to find one where the story fulfilled all your wishes, showed you all you were interested in, left visibly no loose ends and satisfied your desires with a story so whole your heart can't complain even if it doesn't want to let go. a lot of times i'll get book-hangovers because a setting, a cast, the plot was so good but there were still so much more i wished the writer touched on. with all for the game though i can't throw a single stone at nora skavic because she really did her best to give us all that we could want here, while alluding to future happenings in a way that doesn't make you feel like you lost out on them just because you run out of pages by the end of the king's men.
i'll always appreciate just how great of a time this trilogy gifts me with on each read. the cast remains just as magnetic as they've been the first time i met them. the plot just as outlandish but still fascinatingly creative as on the first read. i still to this day haven't read anything like it. the pacing amping the adrenaline, honing the relationship developments, at each turn giving you memorable lines after memorable lines, from "you are a pipe dream" to "i'll be the deadliest piece on the board" it just does not let go of you till you see the very last sentence. i think the fact that even after a decade it continues to gather and keep a strong fanbase with zero marketing or other ways to reach visibility besides people recommending it to each other on tumblr or in friendship circles speaks for itself.
i honestly believe that if you like this story at any point in your life, it'll not let go of you in some or more ways possibly ever. in my case, i'm totally confident that i'll be continuing to re-read it every other year or so till i am able to. and it'll never be anything less than a perfect 5 star.

Were there issues? Probably. Do i care in the face of everything that Nora Sakavic did right??? Absolutely NOT. The resolution was perfect. It never felt too easy or simple. I am SO satisfied.
I WOULD GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP.

- “now are you having fun?” *referring to someone getting injured/fighting* “that part was vaguely interesting”
- “you’re crazy” “this is news to no one”
- and so much more !!!!
