Reviews with content warning for Ableism - Лисья нора

This is not a recommendation. This is a record of how much I loved them. If you like sports anime mixed with mafia anime mixed with american sports movies mixed with emotional trauma and homoerotic tension, check out trigger warnings and give them a shot. Or don't. But either way don't blame me.

That being said, I did read them twice in the space of a week so how am I not supposed to give them 5 stars
Solid over-the-top everything with a fake sport, real rivalry, and 2 guys shoving each other around

pretending it's not flirting

“Remember this feeling. This is the moment you stop being the rabbit.”

For a 3,5-star read (that I rated 5 stars because I can), this book had no business being so addicting. The only reason I picked this up is because somehow my search page on Instagram was suddenly full of fan art for AFTG. Not sure, but I'm convinces the Goddess had decided my TBR wasn't long enough yet.
The writing is good, not great, the plot is kind of all over the place and don't expect me to be able to explain in explicit detail what the heck Exy is. Thankfully, the Foxhole Court fandom had my back and without too much extensive desk research, I feel like I can actually understand the game through Sakavic's writing.

“Money greases the wheels of the world easier than blood does, and Riko has access to both.”

Will definitely continue this series. Might get them in paperback so I can reread them at some point. That point might arrive in 2022.

PS: DO NOT search for a lot of info or fan art on Google or you favourite search engine. You will get spoiled.

problematic as hell (shocking amounts of ableism as well as some racism and homophobia for good measure) and i can't explain anything that was good about it but i must admit this was an intoxicating book and there's a decent chance i will be reading the sequels
