I will try to summarise my love for this book in as few words as possible.
Jean was always a complicated character to me, someone who was difficult to love due to his complicity in Riko's violence until you really started thinking about his life and reasons.
I've read books 1 to 3 more times than I can count and the first two or three times I definitely did not like him.
This book perfectly lead us through what I started figuring out on my later rereads, fleshed out his person with his thoughts and struggles.
I adore Nora's writing and it was easy to love this book as well.
I loved all the Trojans we've met closer so far, Jeremy, Laila and Cat are a great addition to Jean as company and he will definitely not be able to escape their friendship and passion.
I can't wait to see how he grows after this.
I also am very curious to hear more about Jeremy's family life as we got a bunch of hints toward it already.
A little minus point to me, that isn't really one, was that Nora said she sees this as a stand alone, which it definitely is not.
I don't think anyone who starts with this book would understand what went on with the Ravens, the sport and the general idea behind everything early enough to keep reading.
Would not recommend this as a good start into the series, although I'm sure that wasn't what she intended for it to be anyways.
Seeing Neil come in at the end again brought me so much joy, btw.
I adore that man with every fibre of my being. He really is THE character of all time for me.
Love him.
Warning for everyone who is uncomfortable with cult recovery, sexual abuse and general abuse, torture and violence. There is a lot of hinted and some more graphic descriptions.

Sakavic’s writing and character development remain as strong as they were in previous installments, but with a bit more depth into the plot set up in earlier books—Jean’s perspective is a welcome puzzle piece to help fill in the universe Sakavic has created.
Definitely looking foreword to where Jean’s story goes.

jean yves-moreau holds a very special place in my heart, one that now houses my beloved foxes and the trojans. if he doesn't get every single thing he deserves, i will be rioting. the glimpses of the foxes were like crack and i need more of them. the descriptions of andrew and neil made my little heart sing and neil in the final chapter??? he knows he is THAT bitch and seeing him from an outside pov is exhilarating and i crave more.
sakavic writes found family masterfully and creates incredibly complex characters that i have rarely come across. cat and laila are just amazing, refreshing characters and the need i have for them to hang out with dan, allison, matt and renee is unreal. jeremy is such an exciting character to read, he's got so much depth that is slowly being explored and his story is one i can't wait to read.
i am hoping for more books with the trojans, especially about jeremy and his relationship with his family. also more exy games, i adored the game scenes with the foxes and would love to see the behind the scenes of trojans playing against other teams. an utter masterpiece that i will never forget, right there with the foxes. 🦊🦊🦊
(lucas and graysen?? it's on SIGHT. i truly don't give a shit is lucas apologised, i will put him down.)

As far as the Trojans we get to know better—Laila, Cat, and Jeremy are definitely the people I’d want in my corner any day of the week. The characters stole a bit of the show in the original trilogy and I’m really glad to see more of them as they try to help Jean settle in.
If you liked the original All for the Game trilogy then I think you’ll get more of what you’d expect out of this novel. Nora Sakavich is not in a rush to tell the entire story in one novel and I’m definitely intrigued to keep going.
