The Golden Raven (All for the Game, Band 5)

The second volume about Jean and Jeremy. Of course, I loved it! These are just my comfort books (despite the trauma lol). Jean still has to find his way in the new team and all, but he is slowly getting better. Still, a lot of trauma, but while trying to unlearn his Raven conditioning, his perspective is changing (you didn't deserve this, baby 😭😭❤️). I also love how he is understanding the Trojans playstyle more and more. At the same time, we learn more about Jeremy's family, and oh boy, I want to punch them all! Just a bunch of controlling, homophobic, racists 💀 There wasn't actually that much happening in the beginning, just more daily stuff that could have been cut shorter, but it was still easy to read. But I read the second half much faster cause there were bigger things happening. I loved Kevin and Andrew showing up, and Jean being rude is just THE BEST 😂 My favorite insults were the ones he used to describe Neil with (an ill-bred child, a malfunctioning cretin & a rancid menace). Like, let that poor boy live. He is trying his best 😂 I was also crying a lot again, obviously. Like, everything that happened after the first game had me in tears 🥹 Also, I NEED that one Fox game from their perspective! (I bet there are going to be fanfics 👀) Like, I love Jean & Jeremy, but I will never be done with the Foxes and when the trilogy ended, I still wanted to see so much more, and I love it when they show up, but it's never enough 😩❤️ The volume ended on a rather chill note, but I expect the slowburn to start burning in the next one, so I can't wait 🤭 But, of course, this is not what this series is mainly about, and I just love their little family so much 🥰

Doch leider lässt ihn die Vergangenheit nicht los - immer wieder holen ihn die dunklen Stunden im Nest der Ravens ein. Jeremy ist bei jedem Schritt an seiner Seite. Doch auch dieser Lebt nicht das unbeschwerte Leben, das er nach außen hin zeigt. 𝕄𝕖𝕚𝕟𝕖 𝕄𝕖𝕚𝕟𝕦𝕟𝕘: Ihr wisst, dass ich die Reihe liebe, oder? Wenn nicht, dann sage ich es euch jetzt: Ich liebe, liebe, liebe die Reihe. Egal ob die drei Orginale oder die neue Reihe - sie haben sich einfach in mein Herz geschlichen. ❤️ Und auch dieser Teil schließt sich nahtlos an. Jean bricht mir einfach immer wieder das Herz und ich will ihn immer abwechselnd schütteln und knuddeln. Und lasst uns erst gar nicht von Jeremy anfangen - den muss man einfach lieben. Allgemein sind die Trojans ein tolles Team - irgendwie richtig unterstützend und heilend. 🫶🏻 Hach, ich kann den nächsten Teil gar nicht abwarten - und habe gleichzeitig Angst, weil es dann vorbei ist. 😭 𝕃𝕖𝕤𝕖𝕖𝕞𝕡𝕗𝕖𝕙𝕝𝕦𝕟𝕘? Definitiv! Es ist eine Reihe die man liebt oder hasst - und ich liebe sie! Short english review below ⬇️ 𝔼𝕦𝕣𝕖 𝕃𝕚𝕔𝕖𝕪 ☘️ ➡️ oh my god! I love this series so much! And this book fits right in! It was amazing and heartbreaking to learn more about Jean, Jeremy and the other Trojans. ❤️ I wanted to cuddle and throttle them (but with a lot of love) at the same time. 🤭 I can't wait for part three and I'm excited to learn more about these wonderful characters!

These characters have me in a chokehold. They're so unbelievably well written that my eyes involuntarily welled up with tears any time Jean showed the slightest bit of vulnerability towards the Trojans. Every hint of progress in his healing journey left me giddy and everything thrown at this poor guy made me want to see him not only "endure" but finally overcome it even more. Nora Sakavic's writing really makes you feel like you know these people. This book is so character-driven, that descriptions of torture don't nearly face me as much anymore as silent, thoughtful car rides. Despite the gruesome topics this book deals with, it had me giggling and kicking my feet on more than one occasion. Somehow, it manages to find just the right balance and the lighthearted moments were incredibly fun to read. I cannot wait for more.
