The Foxhole Court
by Nora Sakavic
(7.11.2020) Third read: I was having trouble picking my next read, so I decided to reread this rollercoaster of a series instead. And damn it, I still have a LOT of feelings for this book. I love my dumb, chaotic children.

(6.24.2019) Second read: I just finished this series four days ago but I'm still not over it, so I decided to read it all over again. I keep noticing new things this time around, and I realized the slow burn romance is already starting here albeit in really, really subtle hints. It just makes me love it more. *cries*

(6.13.2019) Several friends on Instagram have suggested this book to me, and since it was free on Kindle, I decided to give it a try and include it on my TBR for Pride Month!
This was truly an interesting read.
The writing style was fine for me. It's not poetic or too emotional or anything like that. Instead it was dark and straightforward, and really lets the characters stand out. I love the author's use of metaphors; there's something about them that's both melancholic and harsh. There are minor grammatical errors (just a couple of missed commas), but otherwise, it's all good.
The characters (which happen to be my favorite part of the story) got me hooked. They were all so intriguing, mysterious, and unpredictable, and with the way the story is being told, I got invested in them and their own stories and journeys. Some of them (okay maybe a lot) were a tad annoying and maybe psychotic, but I really wanted to know more of them. Neil Josten, our main character, is definitely an intriguing character, and I just can't help wanting to witness his journey as he moves forward in this new chapter in his life.
The plot is interesting as well. It contains a lot of elements and factors which just makes me more curious as a reader. Right now, this first book seemed more like prologue as it mainly introduced the characters, the world, the game, and everything else. I feel it's just getting started, and I am anticipating more from the sequel!
Actual rating is 3.5 stars! I'll make a series review and post it on my blog after I finish binge reading the whole series (it got me hooked alright! hahaha!).
ALSO, trigger warnings: mentions of murder, child abuse, drug abuse.
