“The Foxes would be okay, at least, and that was more than enough.”
Now how the heck am I supposed to get over this and just start a new series. So far, this has been my favourite found-family series. Six of Crows is a close second, maybe even shared first-place, followed by ACOTAR and The Raven Cycle .
“I'm not trying to die," Neil said. "This is how I stay alive. When I'm playing, I feel like I have control over something. I feel like I have the power to change things. I feel more real out there than I do anywhere else. The court doesn't care what my name is or where I'm from or where I'll be tomorrow. It lets me exist as I am.”
It was an absolute treat to experience Neil's character development and reading how the Foxes learned to live and play together. Immediately checked if I could order these in paperback, but The Netherlands disappointingly doesn't have them at the moment and I don't trust international shipping enough yet to order them from Amazon.
“If a bone isn't healing straight, you have no choice but to break it. ”
The writing style and plot development was better in The Raven King , but I loved the characters in this final instalment too much to rate this anything below four stars. Will reread in the (near) future. No complaints about this being my first 2022-book.
Neil built his life around Exy after his mother died because he needed something to live for, but Neil wasn't alone anymore.
