What can I say about this second installment in the Green Creek series? This was definitely more frustrating that Wolfsong. With Gordo’s backstory and all the hurt and anger he felt in past and present time, it was hard to separate myself from what he was feeling. I wanted him to move on from his hurt so bad and caught myself yelling at him to just get over it already and be with Mark. And poor Mark. His shit was just as a sad, too. I have new found feelings towards Thomas Bennett and it was so upsetting that he just left Gordo and didn’t even really care on his return to Green Creek.

I loved the scene with Gordo and Thomas. I feel like that was so important for Gordo to heal and move on from that part of his anger.

The whole last half of the book was a wild ride. The hunters, Elijah, Dale…

Also, THAT ENDING. Can’t wait for #3

I'm glad we are getting events before Wolfsong. I'm quite pleased that I'm finding this story to continually grow and even be better than Wolfsong, but it might be due to knowing these characters and seeing them just go. I love how cinematic many of the act 3 scenes were conveyed. I honestly had a feeling I would like Ravensong more than Wolfsong with the given that it's told in Gordo's perspective. What a triumph. So excited for the follow up.

I love the story of the series, Gordo and Mark are all deserving.
“Remember what you told me?
What we would be for each other?"
He softened, and it felt green. "I'll be your hands."
"And I'll be your sanity."
Love to read about all of them, Ox and Joe and the ones to come.
The religious talk by that hunter b was annoying as hell to read.

I really loved the first book in this series and was excited to continue reading. This book was really good, but didn’t quite draw me in like the first one. That said, there was so much depth to this book. It explained a lot and and set the stage for what’s to come next so well. Strangely, the love story in it didn’t draw me in as much as every other part of the story did. There were a lot of details about the Green Creek world and the dynamics between the pack that I loved learning. And the end made it so that I cannot wait to start book 3!!!
