I finished like the last 200+ in 1 day because I couldn’t put it down.Ī few people who did horrible things to Neil and the Foxes finally got what they deserved.
Everything that happened in between the first and last book was wrapped up so nicely I was loving it. How I feel about the ending – satisfactory or not?ĭefinitely satisfying. He had to overcome a lot of his inner demons to let people in his life in but he quickly realized that in the end, everything he had to do get to where he was at the end, it was worth it. Kevin is quietly reserved in that way due to how he was raised by the Ravens, with their cruel methods. He and Kevin had a lot of issues to work through and I doubt that they will ever be done with that but I think that Kevin appreciates Neil more than he lets on. Kevin was a crucial part of Neil’s journey and character growth. Something else I really love about these two is that they don’t pity each other for what they’ve been through – they see the other as the person – not their history. My book looks almost like Swetlana’s copy of ACOMAF.
I found myself literally marking almost all of their scenes with my text marker. Neil had to work to earn his trust and be persistent but I loved seeing how it progressed. But when he gave Neil his car keys a second time, it was more than obvious to me that Andrew speaks through actions more than his words. His relationship with Andrew progressed even further throughout this book and you could see how much they trusted in each other even though I’m sure Andrew would never admit it. In regards, to how things ended with his father, I was pretty satisfied with that. Which is why he connects so well with the foxes because they went through similiar tough situations themselves and came out stronger than before. What Neil went through in his childhood, having to run for so long, has taken such a toll on his mental health, as well, I think. I think Neil saw that and sometimes he needed that. Wymack was kind of that person for Neil that was there to help him after he came back from Evermore – a kind of father figure – which was a really great Element that made me appreciate Wymack as a character even more, than even if he can be harsh – he really cares about these kids. When I think back to how Neil started out in book 1, he became more emotionally available and more understanding of others, whereas before he only knew one thing: looking out for himself.
I feel like Neil’s journey is a lot about re-defining his will to survive from self-preservation to actually having formed these friendships with his teammates and his relationship with Andrew gave him more than one reason to want to continue living at all. This final installment started out right after the ending of Book 2 so no time was wasted getting right back into things. If they both say it doesn’t mean anything, maybe Neil won’t regret losing it, but the one person Neil can’t lie to is himself. Neil should know better than to get involved with anyone this close to the end, but Andrew’s never been the easiest person to walk away from. He knew when he came to PSU he wouldn’t survive the year, but with his death right around the corner, he’s got more reasons than ever to live.īefriending the Foxes was inadvisable. I’ll miss them a lot but re-reading is always an option, right? PSA: I’m warning you: This will contain spoilers. Here we are at the Review of the last book of “The Foxhole Court” Trilogy! It’s been one hell of a ride for these characters and I’m so happy to say that in the end, they got the triumph that they deserved from the start.
