It’s a basic - but effective - trilogy setup: The first book sets the scene, introduces the theme and the characters and gets the reader invested in the story. This, as predicted last time, was the book where the arc of suspense picks up speed. There were brain-mushing twists and jaw-dropping revelations, breath-stopping shocks and heart-clenching emotional moments galore. Seriously, The Foxhole Court was wonderful, all good things in there, all the exposition a girl could want, but The Raven King was where shit finally, finally started going down. Bruised and beaten, Neil returns home to his Fox family and swears everlasting vengeance on The Raven Fuckers.ĭid I prefer it to the first book? Hell fucking yes.
There, he is tortured, abused, cut, burnt, tattooed against his will and generally made to look as if he had a fun encounter with a meat chopper. In order to free his boyfriend teammate from the Moriyama-bribed doctors Andrew was sent to for rehab, Neil agrees to spend Christmas with the Ravens, which is exactly Not A Fun Time.
In his brother’s defense, Aaron rushes in and kills Drake - a ruse set up by Riko Moriyama. Just when the Foxes’ start to form some actual team spirit and real friendships, our heroes experience the shock of the century: At the Hemmick’s family Thanksgiving, goalie, snarkmaster and court-approved maniac Andrew Minyard is raped by his long-time childhood abuser Drake. However, as Neil is a 100% impulsive savage sassmaster, he consistently picks fights with them anyways, which Riko repays by revealing his true identity to Kevin.īut that’s not all there is. In this second installment of orange gay sporty murder shit, ex-runaway, part-time sassmaster, and all-time Exy nerd Neil Josten meets the Edgar Allan Ravens, a team that is exactly as dark and fucked-up as their completely unsubtle name suggests.Įspecially Neil has reason to fear them: Star player Riko Moriyama, also known as That Fucker™, and his father Tetsuji are Neil’s crime lord father’s crime lord bosses and are exactly 0% fooled by his runaway act. In 2013, now-renowned author Nora Sakavic blessed us with The Raven King, book two of the All For The Game trilogy. Sounds good? Then it’s time for Nicki to sum up The Raven King. Shocks and revelations! Sassfests! Backstory awesomeness! Team spirit! The Josten Glow Up™! Me losing my shit! But most importantly – plot.
