Is AFTG’s plot so mind blowing that it warrants creating a new genre of postmodern literature? No. I cared about every detail that was driving the plot forward, but at the beginning of the third book my patience snapped.Įven the characters who made a point of standing off to the side and proclaiming “I don’t care about this plot!” cared more about the plot than I did.īefore starting this trilogy, I read a Goodreads review claiming this trilogy was like no other book. Considering that I would have already lit any other sports book on fire, this is quite an accomplishment.įor the first two books, I was all in. When Nora Sakavic gave her explanation of how Exy is played in the epilogue of the first book, I even skimmed it. However, I got through a good amount of this trilogy. I don’t like watching them, I don’t like writing about them, and I usually don’t like reading about them. Everything about sports - going outside, getting sweaty, talking to people - is bad for me. The characters abuse drugs/alcohol and are pretty messed up + violent.


He joins an Exy team at Palmetto State University.He has a troubled past and a secret identity. This review is my attempt to tell the uninitiated what to expect. I first discovered Nora Sakavic’s All For the Game trilogy from a mood board on my Tumblr dash.Ĭombining the factors of people’s reactions to it, the canon demisexual character, and the general aesthetic of the book itself, I started reading it a few hours later.Īlthough I expected extreme violence, there are many aspects of Nora Sakavic’s All For The Game trilogy that were just…weird.
