They are brought together through Exy – ... - Wow. This is a long review but this series deserves high accolades. Rather than review each book, I waited until I finished the The King’s Men to process and then attempted to write a review that does justice to this remarkable series. desertcart’s new “descriptive” blocks simply don’t apply; the story, characters, and emotions are too complex to neatly check a box. I ordered the first book, The Foxhole Court not only because the premise sounded unusual but because it was free. I ordered The Raven King and The King’s Men before I even finished it. Having said that, it took several chapters for me to not only get a handle on the storyline and characters, but to take an interest in them. But when I did, I was completely invested. Each character is unique and each is broken and/or recovering in some way. Together, they fit but it is not always a comfortable fit. They are brought together through Exy – a fictional NCAA sport, which sounds a bit like Lacrosse/ice hockey on steroids and played on a basketball-like court surrounded by glass walls. I’ll be honest, I could never “picture” how it was played, but that didn’t matter. Sakavic is such a talented writer, I became completely invested in the game, which is not only complex, but has a violent overtone, wrapped in passion, determination, perseverance, courage, and teamwork. To me, it mirrors the struggles of the characters as they achieve the impossible in college athletics against all expectations, including their own while also conquering far more personal issues and dangers. (I promise it is not a "movie of the week" angst!) While Neil/Nathaniel is the primary voice, he does not overshadow Andrew or Kevin or the “minor” characters: Coach Wymack, Aaron, Nicky, Dan, Matt, Allison, Renee, and Abby. Each of them is part of the tapestry. In addition to Exy, they are entwined in the connections of a crime syndicate that moves the plot through several twists and turns, including Riko and several other despicable characters. At one point, you will guess that a character has faced abuse. I was certain. I was right, but that did not prepare me for the sheer emotional power Sakavic creates as you see it through the eyes of an emotionally divested victim and those who love him. The hard part of reviewing this series is not giving spoilers. If I listed key plot lines, some might go "melodrama" and not read the books, which would be a mistake. The plot is intricate - but never slow. There is cruelty but it is balanced nicely with finding support and friendship. I did not like many of the characters in the first book, but by the series conclusion, I not only liked them, but understood how well-crafted they were in the hands of a very skilled author. And, there is a strong conclusion – well deserved after the trials faced. I hope that Ms. Sakavic might revisit Palmetto in senior year. Quite simply, I loved these books. Review: Terrific and intense end to an exception series - As a passionate person, I have the utmost respect for an author who can pull all levels of passion and emotion out of me throughout a book or series. And Nora has managed to blow even my feelings out of the water. This novel is raw. It's ugly and honest and in your face. The author builds and builds and she never backed down from the situations the characters found themselves in. And beyond that, the characters always stayed 100% truthful to them in every situation they were in. There is something huge to be said about this because authors don't always let the characters do what they need but what the author wants and Nora clearly let her characters react how they wanted to and they developed accordingly. I cannot say enough about how great this book is and how wonderful the trilogy is all around. The growth in the characters is fantastically done and the story moves and twists and turns and takes your breath away in both delightful and terrifying ways. I never wanted to put this book down, not even after I finished and there was nothing left to read. These books and characters have found their way deep into my heart and deeper. I love the characters fiercely and would fight for them as if they were real and that cannot be something faked or forced in books. I can happily say that these novels are amongst my favorites now and ones that I will go back to time and time again. These books push the boundaries of both the characters and the reader in a way that so many seem afraid of doing. And that is something everyone should hold in much higher regard. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #21,844 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 11,749 Reviews | ## Images ![The King's Men - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pgMAbyO9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ they fit but it is not always a comfortable fit.

The question is, what DIDN'T happen? In the span of one year starting with The Foxhole Court, the story is packed with fantastic character development, the slowest of all slow burning book relationships, and one of the most heart-wrenching, nerve-wracking storylines I've ever read. I thought the book had reached a dark point in The Raven King, but this book proved me wrong. It can definitely get worse. We're read about violence on the Exy court during games and the characters have traumatic, violent histories that are alluded to, but violence and torture take on a whole new meaning when it's actually happening right in front of your eyes. There are happier moments, and it's a sigh of relief when a character can forget looming threats and just be content, if not happy. Neil and Andrew. They come from the most devastating traumatic backgrounds and honestly, I thought Neil and Kevin were end-game when I read the first book. Instead, Neil and Andrew is a slow burn. It's almost blink-and-you-miss it moment in The Foxhole Court. The relationship blossomed in the second book, but Nora Sakavic really rewards you in this book for your patience. Their scenes are filled with sexual tension and their scenes together are hot. There is one thing that comes up constantly in the The King's Men: CONSENT. You really don't read this in books enough. Both parties need to consent to each other's advances and know when "no" means no. We are given several scenes that gets reiterated explicitly over and over between Neil and Andrew, that saying "yes" once, doesn't mean saying "yes" to everything from that point forward. I was blown away that Andrew and Neil were the ones to develop a functioning, healthy relationship. Exy. This book has made me fall in love with a sport that doesn't even exist. I feel like I need this sport in my life, but only if there are teams like the Foxes or USC and not like the Ravens. The Foxes rallying together, especially when they were so fractured and broken in the beginning, is so lovely to see and I'm just so sad that the story is over. I just want a story of the Foxes for the next four years, playing Exy, Court, and just LIFE in general. I am not ready to let them go. All these characters felt so real that they just jumped off the page. I thought A Court of Mist and Fury gave a terrible book hangover, but this might be the series that gives you the ultimate book hangover that can only be solved by re-reading the entire series. ## Frequently Bought Together - The King's Men (All for the Game) - The Raven King (All for the Game) - The Foxhole Court (All for the Game) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/26351041-the-kings-men](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/26351041-the-kings-men) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
