Nach einem holprigen Start (7 chapter gelesen, dann für 3 Monate weggelegt) habe ich das Buch endlich zu Ende gelesen. Aber das lag an mir und nicht dem Buch, also alles gut
Es ist natürlich schon ein absolut insaner und absurder plot, und die Zusammenstellung der Foxes macht für mich keinen Sinn -
meaning dass man hier ein Team hat mit Personen, die die verschiedensten Traumata und Trigger haben, aber dann ist es in Ordnung eine highly violent und instabile Person mit im Team zu haben, die außerdem dafür bekannt ist, neue Teammitglieder mental zu scarren und Drogen zu verabreichen 💀 insane behaviour
Trotzdem ist es ein spannendes Buch, das man kaum weglegen kann, wenn man einmal drinne ist. Man wird schnell invested in die story von Neil, seiner Liebe zu Exy und seine dubiosen Verbindungen zur Mafia.
Obwohl ich keine Sportperson bin, sind die Einblicke von Exy sehr interessant, auch wenn ich mich schon dabei erwischt habe, bei langen Erklärungen out zu spacen.
Ich freue mich auf jeden Fall weiterzulesen, jetzt woeinerseits der "Mafia-Plot" Fahrt aufnimmt, andererseits Neil sich für die Foxes und Exy entschieden hat und die Foxes (read: Andrew) ihn offiziell aufnehmen

El libro está bien pero no me esperaba a LA MAFIA involucrada en un deporte, y tampoco un libro lleno de abusos (en general). Me lo vendieron de otra forma, aún así seguiré leyendo porque el final me enganchó.

Got 15% in and was constantly distracted by trying to think what this was fanfiction of.
Whichever internet entity recommended this to me, I really don’t know why.

This book was an absolute ride from start to finish. It somehow felt way longer than it actually was (which I won't count as a bad thing), and even though there were only a few instances of things actually, majorly happening, it felt like there was always something and nothing going on. That sort of irritated me for about the first half, but I suppose that makes sense for being more introduction-oriented.
On that note, it took me quite a while to get into the swing of who was who. I got a bit turned around from time to time trying to figure out what was happening and to who, possibly because there were so many characters with a majority of plain names to keep track of in the same room. That, and the sport itself is hardly explained. I had to look up fan explanations to make some semblance of sense of it (seriously did not realize it was even indoors until halfway through their first game, nor that the field was encased in plexiglass(?)), though I am going to give it some grace in that 1) I can probably attribute some of that to me being a little dumb and 2) you're more supposed to focus on the characters and plot rather than the mechanics of the movements in exy. So, won't dock it too much for that despite the rant.
Though I can't seem to get a concrete grasp on the characters and their personalities just yet, I think they're starting to solidify more for me at the end of this book. I'll see how that holds up in book 2. Let's see what they've got!

oh.... you know what? I might be into this.
So first of all, I thought this was a gay romantasy with a weird cover. I took it on a recommendation from someone who normally reads fantasy. It's called the ____ ____ Court. I- yeah, I was like "Okay... so there's lacrosse... where's the magic tho? Someone's gonna cheat at the lacrosse with magic?"
Anyway, and then I thought it was just sports and was like "Not gay. Not romance. Not fantasy... huh??" And then I went to check on something here, and it IS labeled as LGBT.
I had to google who the pairing was even going to be. It is NOT who I was expecting... but I'm all the more excited because of that.Bro, he's gonna get with Andrew????? Andrew The Medically Subdued Crazy??? Oh- oh, that might be fucking stellar, actually.
As much as I'm laughing at myself for having thought this was a fantasy novel, I actually had to kind of put myself into my Fantasy Reader headspace to enjoy it. There's a huge cast, and I think we're actually going to find that every single character is hugely important and relevant and fleshed out (which makes things overwhelming at first). There's a made up sport. Fuck it -- that's the magic. I don't know the rules! I'm sure there are rules. I'm sure I'll learn about them in time to know anything important that involves following or breaking them!There are are these families at play, this secret dynastic power. Read it as a fantasy. It makes so much more sense that way.
I spent 75% of this book on the edge of a DNF... but fuck it I think I'm in. I think I'm converted.
Andrew is motherfucking crazy. Kevin is massively suspicious. I want to know where this is going actually!! Damn. They got me.
