However, Sakavic does an amazing job explaining her new sport Exy to you. I don’t like them, I have no interest in them, and I don’t particularly care to watch them. About ten different people in my lifetime have tried to teach me the rules of football to no avail.

They are the opposite of flat characters, they are round and bouncy and full of secrets and details and likes and dislikes that make reading these books worth it (along with all the extra content from Nora herself on her Tumblr).Īnd as far as the sport aspect goes, I was pleasantly surprised. The Foxes are an amazing group of individuals and I slowly fell in love with each of them. Her writing is quite mature and fluid and her characters are definitely her selling point. So there’s that.īut there are so many other things Sakavic does well. It’s a bit of a pain to get through but the set up is needed and understandable and by the time you finish the second book you’ve already forgotten the pace of the first.
I won’t lie, the first book is sloLike waiting for the bell to signal the end of the school day slow.
If any of these things are a trigger for you then please do not read or read at your discretion.īut other than a cryptic warning, I became addicted to these books. It covers topics from bullying, sexual assault, rape, drugs, violence, torture, and pretty much anything else you can think of. I’ll give you this warning now: these books are not for the faint of heart. Most of them are assholes and a lot of them come from broken families, traumatic childhoods, and horrible beginnings. The forerunner of the the Exy team, Coach Wymack, only recruits kids from troubled pasts for his university team-some think for publicity and some think for penitent reasons, but you’ll have to read to really find out why.Īs you could probably guess the Foxes are not an easy group to like or even get along with. The story really begins with Neil joining Palmetto State University’s Exy team, the Foxes, mostly against his will and definitely to his distaste and dislike. Not only do the details come slow and heady, they come intense and traumatic with each new revelation. The main character, Neil, comes from a shady background that slowly starts to take place during the course of the series. So you might be wondering, what is this damn cheap trilogy about? Essentially it’s one of those “a group of outcasts come together” to save the day situations except the day doesn’t need saving and they don’t exactly come together-they do…but well they don’t. I’d give Nora Sakavic my right arm and leg if she asked for it now. Normally I would have seen that price and went sprinting in the other direction, but in this case it’s a godsend. 99 cents for Ebook on Barnes & Noble and Amazon.

The first book is available online in PDF form for free to get a taste of what you are in for ( ) and the following two books are for purchase for a measly. The All For the Game trilogy or more commonly known as The Foxhole Court is a trilogy centering around secretive and loudmouthed Neil and his rag-tag team of Foxes that play the fictional sport of Exy for Palmetto State University. I could not even tell you how I found these novels or why, only that I had migrated into the deep and secret underbelly of Tumblr and the original fiction community and somehow popped out with a PDF of the first book and a burning desire to read and keep reading. A grand trilogy by author Nora Sakavic is a bit of a secret gem in my opinion. Yes and yes, I am referring to The Foxhole Court. Psychotic teenagers, a completely made up sport, a James Bond-esque deliverance ending, and do or die situations with completely over-the-top sass and wit?
