The King's Men by Nora Sakavic
dark
hopeful
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Well, I'm done with this series... And I miss them already.
Reading 'All for the Game' was simultaneously the most unhinged and gayest experience of my life. It felt like a fever dream.
These books have changed me on some deep level that I cannot explain. The brainrot is real. Critical thinking? I don't know her. I'm here purely for the vibes, and they are immaculate.
'The King's Men' had me HOOKED. I honestly couldn't wait to dive in and see what was unfolding with all the Foxes' various dramas.
It actually had me gasping out loud in places (the bloody message on the mirror!?), and giggling and kicking my feet in others (Andrew and Neil sneaking in make-out sessions wherever they could 🥰).
The high-stakes happenings were sublime in all their fanfic-y goodness. The countdown had me genuinely on edge as the number reduced each day to an unknown event that couldn't possibly end well for Neil.
I was also genuinely so pumped about the team's continuing success in Exy! Wymack's speech at the final game in particular had me grinning like a fool. That's their dad, y'all!
And Andriel. Oh, my babies. Their constant "yes or no?" - CONSENT KINGS. And the pair's ever-maturing conversations? We love to see that GROWTH ❤️ Who knew they'd become the healthiest example of a relationship in this whole mess!?
And can we talk about the infamous shower scene? Because it had me FERAL. The tenderness Andrew takes with Neil? God, my heart 😭 The sex? Whew. They are ridiculously hot and I can't get enough of them 🔥
The inevitable acceptance from everyone that the Foxes really are a family is also wonderful ❤️ (Though I'd really love if Aaron could leave his fucking homophobia at the door, please and thank you 😒).
I don't know what kind of crack Nora put in these pages. I just know that I love these characters so much and officially can't stop thinking about them (especially Andriel - they're in my heart forever now 🥹).
And yes, I will now be reading ALL of the fanfic.
