I am confused but also intrigued.  It is a bit hard to visualize the sport itself but the self-destructive characters have been really compelling and there is a lot of mystery in their backstories that seems messy and complicated.

Okay so this was an okay-ish introduction to a new series, the worldbuilding is pretty good, but there were so many characters that i had to look them up a few times because i wasn't sure who's who and what they're connection to each other was again.

Also there was a kiss without consent that just never get's talked about again (at least in this book) and i know that a lot of people in the fandom love the character that did it, so i really don't get if they just forgot about it or if it will get mentioned and talked about in future books (which i hope)

All in all this book needs a LOT of trigger warnings which you should definitely have a look at before you pick it up. I don't really get the hype around it yet, but maybe the follow up books will convince me that this series is as good as tumblr has had me believe 🙃.

I didn’t enjoy certain use of slurs and got confused a lot but I loved it besides that and had a great time reading this!

I went into the foxhole court excited for the romance I had heard so much about. While the romance did not come much into play in the first installment, the character development and complexities of the foxes has me hooked.
That being said, there were a few things I had issues with. For one, slurs are used repeatedly for no reason, which makes reading this feel uncomfortable. Additionally,

Nicky’s assault on Neil was just brushed over?? And

the plot ebbs and flows, with some parts being a bit confusing.
