_forestofpages 's review for:
The Foxhole Court
by Nora Sakavic
adventurous
challenging
sad
tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Pros: the characters (and their unresolved sexual tension)
Cons: the unrealistic nature of the world which is supposed to be the real world.
UPDATE 2024
Its ridiculous, truly.
This book series is very readable and dramatic; due to the main characters actually insane backstory and the team of weirdos he joins to play the most ridiculous sport, I found it fun to read at times. However, I don't recommend it.
I didn't enjoy the first book's lack of plot, and its frankly painful misrepresentations of mental illness and medication, or that sexual assault/drugging scene that no one ever talked about again.
There are also several instances of ableism from Wymack and Neil that really bothered me. Just words being used that did not need to be there and Andrew being referred to as a psychotic midget like five times. Just, why?
So overall. It was less horrible than I expected, but still pretty bad.
