Fair warning, there are a lot of potential triggers in this story. After reading All for the Game—I expected to read pretty awful information in The Sunshine Court about what Jean had been through as a Raven. I knew I would, but it still hit me pretty hard when faced with the information.
As far as the Trojans we get to know better—Laila, Cat, and Jeremy are definitely the people I’d want in my corner any day of the week. The characters stole a bit of the show in the original trilogy and I’m really glad to see more of them as they try to help Jean settle in.
If you liked the original All for the Game trilogy then I think you’ll get more of what you’d expect out of this novel. Nora Sakavich is not in a rush to tell the entire story in one novel and I’m definitely intrigued to keep going.
