One of my comfort series. Have read it too many times to count. This is my favorite in the series. I love watching the Foxes band together and seeing Neil have a family.

this is so shit, but I'll probably still reread it because I seem to have a thing for young adults running from their dark pasts, or something

Is it still cool to say "still a better love story than twilight"? 

In all fairness, this one felt a little rushed and sort of cobbled together to solve all the loose ends, it didn't exactly follow a dramaturgical curve. I wanted more pining and emotional catharsis and less torture, but here we are. Still a heck of a fun ride!!

i enjoyed this so much. the writing style isn’t the best, but there is just something so engaging about the characters and the story. i have no idea about any of the rules of exy still, but i’m a fan.
