Probably one of the best of the series I’ve read so far. 

Great addition to the Green Creek series. Throws you for a loop at first as you try to make sense of what’s going on/figure out how you jumped from where the last book ended to where you now find yourself. And once you do, it’s a roller coaster of emotions. Just like with every other book in this series, TJ Klune gets you right in the feels. You’ll find yourself cackling loudly one moment, then crying like a baby the next. So much angst, and yet, so much love. It’s hard not to fall for Kelly and Robbie. And, as always, even though it’s their story, it’s also about their pack, their family.

Loved the connection between Robbie, Kelly and the pack but this felt like filler
There was too much telling for a large portion of this book with little showing until much later on.

While I enjoyed the angst that the amnesia brought but all the recounts of past events felt too far removed from the present timeline to really feel impactful. It was somewhat remedied by the ending montage of flashbacks but doesn't take away from how I felt for majority of the book... Kinda seemed like plot took a backseat

We still have questions from Ravensong without answers
Why did Michelle want this position so badly in the first place, how did Robert get his magic back, what was the purpose of the Omega virus...
Villain motivation felt lacking, hopefully more explanation in Brothersong

I liked this but not as much as the previous two books, hoping the next one is better!

a great continuation of the series, with a few unexpected twists. the depth for each character is what keeps me coming back to Green Creek. 

I think I cried for two-thirds of this book. So much love and family and packpackpack.

Wow.

This is my favorite in the series so far. 

The tiny details were so beautiful. The way Mark and Elizabeth cared for Robbie, a really nice callback to their tiny pack of 4. The way Joe and Robbie mended whatever animosity they first had, exchanging it for brotherhood. The way Robbie's recovery was not rushed at all, and the vast majority of the book was about showing Robbie the LOVE everyone felt for him. 

Everything about this book worked for me. The pacing, the plot twists, the character development. Wonderful.
