And just like that, I'm done. Can't believe it only took me a little over a week to finish a whole book series, for me that's quite incredible. The plot was as always a mess and I left my disbelieve and logical thinking on the doorstep before entering the third and final installment of this trilogy. It was just like I expected a hot mess. So much trauma, torture, mafia, made-up-sport matches, and death. But what can I say, as much as all my friends judge me for it, I had a good time. Still wouldn't recommend it to anyone, though.

I think this was a perfect conclusion to the series. It packs the same punches since page one of book one, and amps up the heart and spirit seen throughout. Heart-stopping action, pulse-pounding games, and tear-worthy character development beautifully wrap up this trilogy.

Reread 2020: I love this trilogy so much. The found family trope is *chef’s kiss* and the character development really does just rip my heart out. I love the Foxes.

Reread 2024: These books make me so fucking feral, I’m still obsessed.
