this is the same anon from the book rec ask! i originally followed you bc i kinda fell in LOVE with Avoiding War (bones... absolutely adore them) but seeing how u post abt aftg n how u just rec'd it hmmmm i might actually read it!!! i only know a lil bit abt the series (they play a made up sport??? exy and neil is apparently a whore for it jhgbdk) although i do tend to skip over the posts. i'll definitely have to check it out !!!!

AHH!!! Oh my god well Anon I already loved you but if you like Bones then you’re like akjsd;flajsdfl literally my favorite person on the planet. 

ALSO!!! I would 100% reccomend AFtG EXCEPT: here’s some warnings XD

First though: here’s your hook: 

Neil Josten has been on the run for almost his whole life, he can barely remember a time when he wasn’t running from demons hiding in his past. Before, he had his mother by his side, but after a close call in Seattle he leaves her in a burning car on a sandy California beach and has to go it alone. With his mother gone and life feeling helpless he turns to Exy--a fictional sport that’s a bit like if Hockey and Lacrosse had a hate child. He’s good, good enough to catch the attention of one David Wymack, also known as Coach of the Palmetto State Foxes, a team infamous for their questionable choice in players. Wymack gives people second and third and fourth chances, he uses the team to recruit people who otherwise would be left face down in gutters and pulls them out. 

With his entrance and the  possibility of a new life Neil has to make a choice--toss aside everything his mother taught him and put his life on the line, or ignore his only opportunity to gain a real home. 

He picks, but if life was easy he wouldn’t be Neil Josten. 

Why you should read!!

FOUND FAMILY!!!

NEIL IS A SNARKY BASTARD BOI WHO IS 100% AN EXY WHORE

Gays!

Really cool complex characters

The fandom is fucking AMAZING

You WILL fall in love with the characters

The first book is $0 on amazon as an ebook and the other two are $0.99 what have you really got to lose?

Why you might NOT want to read:

It’s graphic and dramatic and ridiculous and over-the-top and a bit... we’ll say interestingly written

Don’t get me wrong I love these books to DEATH but the first book especially is a bit of an exposition slog fest XD. There is QUITE a bit of violence including a character who deals with sexual abuse + multiple, pretty damn explicit, torture scenes. I couldn’t find it but somewhere around her there’s a completed trigger warning list for the series and--yeah it’s LONG. 

I ripped through all three books in about a dayish (reading overnight too) because I legitimately couldn’t stop. It’s just gripping and intense and in my top ten favorite books of alltime. 

Anyways, if you’re sold here’s the Amazon ebook links, happy reading!!!

Book 1: the Foxhole Court 

Book 2: the Raven King

Book 3: the King’s Men
