There wasn’t a time when I lost interest in it as there are so many plot twists. In fact, you’d be better off reading a non-fiction piece if that’s what you’re after. So if you’re super-duper into realism then this book won’t be for you. Of course it’s not, it’s a fictional novel and there’s a lot of times when you could be left thinking, “That really wouldn’t happen”. The book itself isn’t completely realistic, either. I’d suggest avoiding this book if these topics are not something you’d feel comfortable reading about. At times, these scenes can be very graphical. There is a lot of violence, drugs and mental health issues are frequently mentioned. In saying all this I must explicitly warn you all of the books triggers. Exy is basically a rougher version of Lacrosse and there’s no saying what injuries could be made while out on the court. The truth is that each character has come from a miserable background and the coach, David Wymack, picks each member based on their brokenness. You find out about each of the character’s backstories and why they became a member of the Foxes exy team. The best thing about this book is that it leaves no story untold. Every character in this book has a story to tell, and each one is as brutal and horrific as the last. This book is incredible and I completely understand why people rave about it. After 8 years he’s finally found a place where he feels he belongs: should he stay or should he go? Review Neil has to come to the decision on whether or not this Exy Team is worth risking his life for. One of the members of the Exy team happens to be an old friend and he can’t leave him behind again. The lies he tells others can only withstand the strain of time and his other team members for so long, before his truths can be discovered he plans to move onto his next destination. Unfortunately, this leaves Neil at a disadvantage as he could easily be tracked down by the his father and killed if he were to discover it was him. This Exy team is often a part of live broadcasts meaning hiding from the sports news channels was an impossibility. Neil knew the risks of joining PSU Foxes but initially had no choice but to accept the offer. However, joining PSU’s Exy team takes him down an unsure path and one that lacks escape routes. After being on the run for the majority of his life, he’s used to moving from place to place on short notice. His upbringing has been far from simple as he is the son of the murderous crime lord known as ‘The Butcher’. And that's not worth the read.The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavic follows the story of Neil Josten who becomes a member of Palmetto State University’s (PSU Foxes) Exy team.

I'm not judging anyone who enjoyed this series I'm just saying for people like me - this series is gonna make you feel more downs than ups.
There was no point besides adding to hurt, whether for the character it was happening to or to others around them.
But that's the whole thing with this series - there was no purpose aside from pain. I'm not saying that these things can't serve a purpose in the writing/reading process of a book. The story just seemed like an excuse to hurt gay men and call it a "dark romance" or some crap like that 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️.ĮDIT to clarify: I'm not saying books can't be written on/containing horrible subjects. It made me feel sad and angry and made me think that these characters may have a happy-ish moment at the end of the story but aren't gonna have happy lives. I didn't feel like the main characters went through so much pain to learn something or become better people.
I will say I pushed through and read the whole series a few years ago and am looking at it through that lens so maybe I forgot a couple things - but in the end, TFC didn't make me feel good or like I learned something or like I simply read a satisfying story. And that's just one type of abuse present in the books. Multiple instances of sexual assault on one of the main characters - to the point where I was wondering if this author wasn't just basically writing some weird type of. Spoiler/Trigger Warning for those who need it cause I definitely did for this series.
