How do I even start this.

Where The Foxhole Court was good, The Raven King was excellent. I struggled a bit at the beginning of the series with getting to know and remembering all of the characters, but boy have these book hit their stride. The sports sequences were better, the drama was better, everything was better. The feels hit harder. The rivalries intensified. We're getting a much better feel for who we're rooting for and who we want to smash in the face with an Exy racquet. Yeah, I got a lot more emotionally invested in this one.

I'm angry, I'm happy, I'm excited.

And yes, I cried, okay?

The characters are all flawed af but how else would I love them this much? And to all the people who hate this series, yes. It is insanely dramatic and wildly unbelievable. I just don't care, because it's also intensely entertaining.

And, to be honest, it's not really about the plot. These books are character driven, and every one of the Foxes (except Aaron. I'm still on the fence about Aaron) has my entire heart. The family they're building makes my heart feel like it's going to burst.

Off to go read the last one.
