My name is Jean Moreau. My place is at Evermore. I belong to the Moriyamas.

It is a truth Jean has built his life around, a reminder this is the best he can hope for and all he deserves. But when he is stolen from Edgar Allan University and sold to a more dangerous master, Jean is forced to contend with a life outside of the Nest for the first time in five years. The Foxes call his transfer to California a fresh start; Jean knows it is little more than a golden cage.

Captain Jeremy Knox is facing his final year with the USC Trojans and fifth straight year falling short of the championships trophy he desperately craves. Taking in the nation’s best defenseman is a no-brainer, even if that man is a Raven. But Jean is no monster, just a man with no hope or desire for a future, and when Evermore’s collapse starts dragging Jean’s hideous secrets to light, Jeremy is forced to contend with the cost of victory.

    I didn’t know this new book was coming, so I was 6 days late to the party. I didn’t had any expectations, and not because I thought it was going to be bad, but I just didn’t have an idea of what was going to happen (I’ve read sooo many Jerejan fics lmao, I’m not gonna hide it), so I went at it with an open mind and lots of excitement. It didn’t disappoint.Jean’s POV is heartbreaking, as we all expected. I loved that we could perceive the contradictions between wanting to survive and being stuck so deep in trauma (Riko has a place in hell with his name on it). We get to see that complex hate-love relationship with the Ravens and the Raven mentality/way of life.I’ll stay positive that we’re gonna have a next book soon because I need to know about Jeremy’s family and all that drama that was hinted in the secod? part of the book. I honestly love it, and (spoiler ahead) the scenes with Neil are my favorites, especially the last part, he’s a little AH but a protective one, just like Andrew.

    Cuidado, esse livro tem todos os gatilhos possíveis, mas se vc chegou até aqui, provavelmente leu a história de Niel, então vamos lá…Esse é um livro muito mais triste que os 3 livros anteriores. E consegue ser pesado o tempo inteiro, pois o Jean está tai marcado com tuda a vida que obrigaram ele a viver, que até pequenas coisas são dolorosas de ver em como ele reage ou então não sabe reagir. Ele acredita que merece tudo de ruim que já aconteceu com ele por ser um Moreau, mas depois do final do livro anterior, ele se encontra totalmente perdido sem fazer a mínima ideia de quem ele é sem o Riko e o mestre, e a conclusão de que toda a violência que ele viveu foi em troco de nada depois que ele mudou de time faz ele entrar em desespero.Esse livro vai mostrar também como todos os outros corvos entraram em depressão e tiveram problemas pra tentar se integrar a sociedade depois que o ninho fechou.Foi incrível ver o final do jogo das raposas de outro ponto de vista, o Neil continua sendo um maluco impecável nesse livro, e o Waymac… para sempre o melhor treinador, cuidou do Jean e só ganhou mais espaço no meu coração S2Ah, mais uma coisa… foi o meu PRIMEIRO LIDO DA VIDA EM INGLÊS… Por causa disso levei 1 mês pra acabar, mas pra se vê o quanto eu amo essa série, li um livro inteiro em inglês só por conta disso S2

    Immense Gratitude to Nora for providing another excellent continuation of the series
    I cannot remember when I was first introduced to Nora and the game of Exy. It’s been a while and I remember being so confused about this wildly popular game that I had never even heard of. I even looked it up online to find out she invented it. It’s like Tolkien’s making up the Elven language before writing the Lord of the Rings series. It adds another dimension to an already well-crafted book. And trust me, you get sucked in quick. I don’t think I have ever read a female author who writes violence so well. That sounds more disturbing than I intended, but it’s true. It’s so well done that you feel both immersed and protected from it. Like Nora is a fierce Andrew standing between us and all the chaos. I don’t know how I was fortunate enough to see that this one had been released. It had been so long since I had read the others in the series that it took me a heartbeat to remember who was who and where I left off in the story. She got me back on track quickly and there was no way I was stopping to even look up a summary to bring me back up to speed once I started this book. It was Jean, and I forget how young these characters are because of the trauma they have all faced in some form or another. I love how it’s an aggressive sport and coed. I still don’t know that I understand half of what is transpiring on the court, but the characters drive the plot, and their voices are so distinct from one another. Do you know how rare that is to find in an author? I’m still thinking about the Sunshine Court and I finished it two nights ago. I don’t want to rush Nora, but I feel like I just binge read a season and I cannot wait for the next to be released.

    Almost better than the first three
    It is very rare that a spinoff like this is better or even on par with the original, but this one is really freaking close. The characters are vivid, the story is paced just right so that it is both easy to follow and compelling, but also gives so much exposition and character growth at the same time. I was worried about this book, as I found it hard to imagine what an AFTG book without the main cast would be like, but I fell in love with the Sunshine Court just as fast as I did with the Foxes.Definitely will be rereading and waiting (im)patiently for the next one 🙂

    so so thankful for this book
    When I found out that a new AFTG book was going to be coming out, I was so intrigued by what Jean’s story would entail, and looking forward to seeing this universe from a new set of eyes. Any expectation I had for this book were blown out of the water for me.I know for many people, Jean being the main protagonist of this new book was a major let-down. I didn’t feel the same, and I think that having Jean as a new protagonist was an amazing decision. While I would love more from the Foxes, I think the original trilogy gives plenty to chew on, and I don’t know if I would’ve enjoyed new content from them after so long the way I did the original books. By having a side character now become the protagonist, we get someone who’s close to the Foxes while at the same time being able to take the story in a new direction and see the feelings of other people in this world, which I feel makes this world feel richer than another Fox book would have. I don’t personally understand the argument that, because Jean and Jeremy were just side characters in the original book there’s nothing interesting to do with these characters, but to each their own on that front I suppose.Jean’s story was absolutely heartwrenching to read, and seeing his slow growth throughout this book was beautiful. His journey is far from over (considering there is at least one more book in this new series, potentially two though I don’t know for sure) so this book was inevitably going to be setting up a lot of things and not a lot of satisfying conclusions. Despite this, I never found myself feeling bored. Nora’s writing is both simple and captivating. She has the ability to drop the most gut wrenching lines in the most mundane of places, and personally I think this is a real strength of her writing. Her more simple wording makes the text easy to speed through, while also being able to have a lot of emotional punch at the same time. Jean’s inner dialogue was written in a different way compared to Neil in the first book, and the way his anxiety/flashbacks/dissociative moments were conveyed was very well executed.The new characters were a wonderful addition. The main trio who bond with Jean are all wonderful and I’m really looking forward to see more of their dynamic in future books, as well as how Jean will eventually fit into this once he allows himself to truly trust and be vulnerable with them. I’m especially excited to see more of Jeremy! This book was truly JEAN’s book but there’s a lot of hints to Jeremy’s backstory throughout this book and I’m very intrigued by him and who he is beneath the mask he puts on as captain of the sunshine court (ha book title!). I also thought the further revelations into the Ravens’ and their psyches was interesting. We’ve learned about the Ravens from both Neil and Kevin previously, but Jean adds another layer to the Nest through the depravity he suffered there, as well as insights from other characters. Seeing what the consequences of their loss to the Foxes in TKM was cool (?) to see.I have small gripes with the ending, as the last chapter happens quite fast and its events feel a tad bit out of place in a book that was so focused on Jean’s internal struggles, but because this is the first book in a series I anticipate my lingering questions from this will be answered going forward and it will make more sense once the series continues. I wish it had been a bit better integrated in the last few chapters, but I’m not going to elaborate more as I don’t want to include spoilers! Just something I feel the new to mention as it did stick out to me and linger in my mind once I finished as something that left me not entirely satisfied.TLDR this book was an incredible addition to the original books that I’m very much looking for to continuing as the series is finished. It’s a beautiful tale of appreciating the small things in the everyday that make life worth surviving, and growing into your own person even through horrible circumstances. I’m glad this is the version of these books where Jean survives, and I hope that people who loved the original books (especially those who were really hoping for andreil content in particular) will still give this book a chance even though it’s not the series extension they originally wanted. I think they will be pleasantly surprised.
