This book captured my, just like Wolfsong did.  Every spare moment I had was picking it up and not wanting to put it down. 

Reading from Gordo’s point of view was just so raw and real - I came love his character all the more, despite the hilarious curmudgeon front he puts up.
It was emotional watching him go from protecting himself from everything…having lost it all before, and being so afraid to lose it again…so angry he ever lost it in the first place…that he couldn’t allow himself to be happy. 
To finally letting the joy in…holding the sadness, the relief, the joy.
The blue and the green.


I love the way TJ Klune uses colors to describe emotional states.  It’s so vivid. 
I am diving right into Heartsong, and then will be impatiently waiting for the re-release of Brothersong in July. 

The world is a hard place right now - it always has been, but I think maybe those of us paying attention feel that now more than ever. 
Reading a book with characters who have experienced so much darkness, loss, trauma, and violence that overcome by the bonds of love, friendship, and family is exactly the kind of story I need right now. 
To remember that we are strong together, and that love is always stronger than hate. 

This series is a gift - I have a feeling I will return many a time to Green Creek.  Thank you for the family I’ve found within these pages, TJ Klune.
