Nicky forcing himself on Neil to push drugs into his mouth has made me so upset that I cannot even begin to put it into words. The amount of rape jokes made towards Neil are disgusting. So, why is Sakavic’s only current openly gay character portrayed as being completely perverse. Maybe I will, but as of right now I don’t. He has physically and verbally assaulted, abused, and forced drugs upon Neil. But he is an unstable character, who will need a lot of work to get to a point where Neil can logically trust him, and even a longer time for him to be reasonably redeemed.
Where do we begin? He’s got knife arm, so that’s pretty rad. The real problem was in what happened next, Neil claiming to find home after hearing the person he’d been living with died. But from what I have read, his death being treated like an ironic joke by Andrew was unsettling, and Neil’s indifference had much of the same effect. I was upset, to say the least, and can’t speak all too well on how she will choose to handle the aftermath as I have not started book two. In regards to anything else, not so much. His death left me a bit shell shocked, and it was handled well in regards to mood. At times this works, note the game scenes as well as the interview, but mostly it just drags the scenes on for longer than they should.
I knew how Neil opened doors and how he walked, and how he moved his fingers, before I had a clear idea of what he looked like. Beyond the writing style, the author chooses to over describe everything.This is a problem that lends itself to destroy a good deal of the fun in figuring things out. This also leads the the mystery being erased relatively fast, as a reader wondering who Kevin really was to Neil it was disappointing to get the answer handed to me so early on. The dialogue is jilted, with character’s randomly dumping exposition on your head whenever they can. I am not the first person, nor will I be the last, to point out how poorly written these books are when compared to other’s in their genre, and just in general. Neil getting called a whore, don’t ask why it made me laugh. Seth flipping off both his and the opposing team. Gorilla and his interactions with the other characters brings such a lively change to the dynamics. The character interactions are so well done. The first big game, that scene is incredible.I actually really liked Seth as a character, which is a less than popular opinion from what I have seen.Other things, he’s fun to read about, this kid is wild and I adore it. His trauma was a bit mishandled, but we’ll get to that. I enjoyed watching him open up more as the book went on, and seeing him admit to his desire to belong broke me. He’s been through so much, and I really do want the best for him. I really liked his characterization, he was easy to connect to, I felt for him and all of the pain he was put through. Spoilers for the first novel below, so read at your own risk! Things I enjoyed:

I want my baby did to get a HAPPY ending God dammit! Thank you for coming to my rant.Well, here it is, my full review of the first book of All for the Game, I went in to this more or less blind, so this is what I’d like to believe a rather unbiased review. Give me Jack working to amend his relationship with his teammates anx try to pick up the broken piecesof his life and find someone who cares about him. Don't get me wrong, what Jack did was NOT ok but I would love to see a redemption piece. Maybe that's why he hates that Neil and Andrew gets their future but Jack can't find his happy ever after. Going back to childhood trama, maybe his parents weren't ok with him being gay and hurt him. About the homophobic stuff, I'm not saying it was okay, but I believe with all my heart that Jack is a floated member of the LGTBQ+ community. I am considering writing a fanfics about it but I'm not sure. He has his guard way up and it comes off as mean and surly. Go! I think that Jack was harmed in one way or another. I have been wanting to rant about that for SO LONG so here. I know that Jack is a little creep in Aftg but I have a tendency to completely ignore the extra content about the freshman.
