This book is, not unlike the full series, not very good objectively, but it's so fun. The characters are funny and interesting and lovable, and there are a lot of missed opportunities when it comes to cool scenes that could have happened and should have happened but that's what fanfiction is for!

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.

He'd come to the Foxhole Court every inch a lie, but his friends made him into someone real.

who doesn't love an underdog story.

this entire series was a ride, but most especially this final installment. this book is packed and BAT SHIT, but gives way to a riveting buildup to the final showdown. i feel like things overall were tied up fairly well. andrew minyard and neil josten are probably the only characters i will ever suffer a mafia/underground crime plotline for. this is the most dysfunctional found family ever and i love them.

i need to go find any and all fan art and post-epilogue fan fic of this series now, thank you.
