That is, except the infamous Kevin Day, who cares for nothing except exy and who didn’t stir me no matter how pitiful he might have been at times (or because of how pitiful he was). Slowly, as Neil comes to care for his teammates, the more we see the team beginning to pull together, and they all began to tug at my heart. I found myself favoring the lethal, cold-blooded 5-foot tall Minyard twins, Aaron and Andrew, something I would not have imagined happening while I read the first book. As Neil begins to reluctantly become attached to them, to care for them, so did I.
We learn their pasts, why they are they way they are and why they do the things they do, and while this doesn’t necessarily soften some of the harder characters, it provides a level of understanding. My favorite aspect of The Raven King was that it dove deeper into the lives of Neil’s teammates. That does, however, mean it is very much a page-turner.Ĭharacters: While reading the first book, I couldn’t say that any of the characters had won my heart, though Neil did tug at it. Again, these books are not for the faint of heart. The pasts of characters begin to come to light, exy matches are more intense and imperative, and the violence steps it up a notch- a big notch. The plot thickens and becomes even more interesting, exciting, and dangerous. The pacing of this book is consistent and keeps you reading onward, much like the first book. However, each book ends with a definitive change in Neil’s relationship with his team, particularly his teammate Andrew, which marks Neil’s progression in feeling less and less like he wants to continue running from his past. Except for the reintroduction of characters and interludes reminding us what had happened in the first book, it wouldn’t have been entirely out of the question for these two novels to have been just one. Plot: The second book of this series flows smoothly from the first book, The Foxhole Court.
But from now until May you are still Neil Josten and I am still the man who said he would keep you alive.” “Your parents are dead, you are not fine, and nothing is going to be okay. One sentence summary: Neil Josten is learning not to run from his past, continues to get closer to his teammates, and makes a dangerous deal to protect one of them.
The Raven King by Nora Sakavic ( All For the Game #2) / My rating: ★★★★☆
