Which brings me to the hive mind that is the Ravens. There’s also a bunch of stuff about why Neil’s mother took him on the run and how he nearly ended up a Raven. I can only assume his father knows where he is but maybe not. However the fallout of people knowing who Neil is is pretty much well, nothing. Riko, who is the cartooniest villain I have ever seen immediately drops that he knows who Neil is really but doesn’t really say how he knows. There’s a dinner for all the teams in their division where they’re seated with the Ravens, because of course they are. Because apparently that is his magic quality too.Ī whole bunch of weirdness happens in this. For Neil, he’s also the one that people come to whenever they want Andrew to do something. It starts off small but suddenly the team is having dinner together, standing in solidarity at sporting events and even going to Halloween parties together. He can’t look Allison in the eye and Renee makes him uncomfortable but he’s the only one that might be able to get Andrew’s crew to play nice with Dan’s crew. And he’s also getting close to Matt and Dan. He straddles the team divide – he’s “family” now with Andrew, Aaron, Nicky and Kevin. And that’s where Neil comes in.īecause Neil is the specialest snowflake that ever snowflaked. It’s time to rally the troops, to really start to actually begin playing as a team, not as a bunch of people who play the same game who just happen to be on the court at the same time. The Ravens game is coming and they’re going to get slaughtered but they have to try anyway. Now they are at the minimum number of players to be considered a legal team in their division so everyone needs to be on their guard. For a lot of them, he wasn’t particularly well liked, but he was still a part of the team. The Foxes are in turmoil after the death of a teammate. This picks up just after the end of the first book.

But I think overall I just got more questions? So I thought I’d read this one and see how that went. I said in my review of the first book in this series, The Foxhole Court that I wanted some answers.

Neil’s days are numbered, but he’s learning the hard way to go down fighting for what he believes in, and Neil believes in Andrew even if Andrew won’t believe in himself. Riko is intent on destroying Neil’s fragile new life, and the Foxes have just become collateral damage. The two don’t have much time to come to terms with their situation before outside forces start tearing them apart. The one person standing in their way is Andrew, and the only one who can break through his personal barriers is Neil.Įxcept Andrew doesn’t give up anything for free and Neil is terrible at trusting anyone but himself. The Foxes are a fractured mess, but their latest disaster might be the miracle they’ve always needed to come together as a team.
