Eu tinha expectativas sobre essa leitura, uma vez que já li os outros livros publicados por aqui e amei muito. Que bom que não me decepcionei. TJ Klune é incrível, não poderia ser diferente.
Essa é uma leitura bem mais adulta, diferenciando dos demais, mas ainda sim, tem aquele brilho de inocência, misturado com a intensidade dos personagens, tornando bem sólidos a construção da narrativa.
Amo como ele trabalha a representatividade em suas histórias, porque vamos ter romance e hot pesadão: sim! Foi um surto atrás do outro.
Apesar de ser um livro imenso, a leitura é tão dinâmica, rápida, hábil, que não deu pra largar enquanto não terminasse. Não vejo a hora de ler as continuações e saber o que tanto o bando Bennett trará para nós.

I loved this so much. This is a pallette cleansing read. I might actually read this again it was so good. This is a Wattpad shifter story grown up. If everything before came to a head like this, it was worth it. Not for everyone, if you can't suspend your disbelief and you don't wanna hurt, don't read this.

The age gap was unnecessary.

I’m glad I read this and I’m glad to own this because I did legitimately enjoy it. Until almost at the end. I really wish there had been a trigger warning at the start

for (threatened not described) rape and pedophilia. I know it was in a conversation and said by the villain, but it really soured the rest of the book.

. I had to finish it in one sitting because I knew that if I put it down I wouldn’t pick it up again. It was just incredibly abrupt and unnecessary. Klune does a great job of showing how sadistic this villain is, and really, really didn’t need to go there with it. He was already clearly a bad guy! He was already evil!
I also wish Joe and Ox had less of an age gap, given how early in their lives the book starts and how much you are shown of their early lives, vs when they are adults. I feel like this story would’ve been just as good starting when they were both teens with a few references or flashbacks to childhood if necessary. It would’ve worked well given the writing style also.

But on the plus side I loved the way Klune writes the pack and shows you how deeply their love lies. You can really feel it seeping out of the pages. He writes relationships really well and every character feels so alive, and real. I also really liked the way they talked. In some books this kind of dialogue can be cringe, but I didn’t feel it here. Everyone has real, solid weight in the story, they can reach out and touch everything, they a part of it all. The magic too, felt so real, even though it’s not explained so much.
I probably won’t continue the series because I don’t think its going to undo any of the issues I had with it, but I also think this book works well as a standalone

I really struggled with the age difference of the two main characters being in a sexual relationship. And I didn’t think the writing was that great- super repetitive, which was not effective. It was hard reading about a toxic relationship that was glorified. I have no problem with gay sex, but the sex scenes were really graphic – gratuitously so. It feel like I was reading porn.

I have enjoyed other books from this author, so I was surprised. I don’t think he did a good job with character development this time, and the characters weren’t particularly likable. I will not be reading the rest of this series.
