A beautiful story of found family, revenge and danger. Wolves and humans, pack and loss.
Trigger warnings for violence, child abuse and blood.

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.

So, yes, it's gay werewolf romance, but it really surprised me. The writing is sometimes overwrought, but the love story is sweet and Ox's character maturation is believable. I will definitely seek out other work from this author.

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.

Alright so. This is probably a 4 star for me.

I really enjoyed this. I liked the slow, gradual approach to everything and that we learned about the world as he did. The friendships and family bonds happened gradually as well, just like with everything else. It felt natural. Even his relationship with Joe which was "mystical moon magic" we saw develop through the years. However, on that note, the lack of development after Ox finally sees Joe and realizes his attraction is unsatisfactory. They have what, a week, before everything happens and they are separated? Would have liked a bit more. But even that could have been fixed by after they come back together they build their relationship again? Spend time together? Yes they did spend time together and have to build a relationship again but it was mainly Ox having to let go of his anger. Which is totally justified btw. I don't like that some of the characters were calling his feelings "ridiculous". But whatever. They take time to come together again which I liked, that it wasn't an instant thing. But after? There wasn't an after. We didn't get to see their relationship after. We didn't get to see how they work as a couple, them going on a date, them doing anything besides the really short claiming scene at the end which I also didn't love since Ox didn't bite Joe? I felt like should have both bit..but meh. I would have liked a little more into the after. Onto another aspect, I didn't agree with every choice characters made but you almost never will. But for Ox, sometimes his thought process irked me. Him blaming the wolves, even a little. Not just after the death right then but even years later he still feels it a little. I didn't like that. But at the same time it shows how human he is? How imperfect he is? Ox or even Joe, neither are perfect characters without flaws. They are still great characters regardless. So I can't fault Ox for that even though it made me a little uncomfortable. Anyway. I'm happy Ox finally found somewhere he belonged. A family who accepts him fully. A place he belongs, as pack, as alpha. It still isn't fully but that'll time time and it's okay. He mostly accepts it now. The position really suits him. He earned it. And as mates. Joe will make sure Ox is the happiest person there is, same with Ox towards Joe. Joe will never let Ox think himself as less, he's the perfect person for him. So yeah, despite a few complaints I enjoyed this book.
