The Foxhole Court
by Nora Sakavic
I F*****g love this book. I was somehow afraid before reading it, because it was recommended as similar to the Raven Cycle and in the past that ended badly for me, very badly. Fortunately this was not the case.
The first thing I would like to say is that I don’t really care about the invented sport and there is no much about it. It’s only an excuse for the plot to be moving. It’s a surprise for me (me not caring for it) because sports anime and manga are my fave, so one would assume that book about sports would right up my ally, but now.
Plot itself is pretty good and I hooked the first chapter I read. For some reason, before reading, I was thinking it will be about werewolves, are similar creatures, but I was wrong and it’s only about highly dysfunctional college students with a little bit of mafia second generation in the mix trying to play fancy lacrosse.
By the way, kudos for the fictional inventors of the sports for thinking that what lacrosse was missing was violence.
I can’t connect with any characters at this point. I like Neil and Kevin is like an anime character so I’m cool with him. But Nicky and Andrew are not my fave in this. Nicky is one ray of sunshine but also kind of rapey. And Andrew I just don’t like and is weird because I normally like the psychos.
I was a little surprised of how the thing with Seth ended, but I liked how the author handled the reactions for the rest of the characters. I kind of liked Seth, I like assholes.
The rest of them are fine and all of them were competently written. Sometimes is the only thing one can demand.
In general I really enjoyed this book and for the first time in a long time I was thinking about continuing reading while doing other things, working for example, like junkie and just for that it deserves high rating from me.
