Lastmidtownshow was delighted that The Sunshine Court is an engaging continuation of Nora Sakavic’s All For the Game series. “The book centres on Jean Moreau, an interesting but mostly background character from the original trilogy, as he navigates his new and unwanted freedom after being harshly ejected from the Edgar Allen Ravens.” What series have you been reading lately?
