I am enjoying these books, but they are starting to feel a little repetitive. I think some of that is intentional to get you in the mindset of the wolf.
This is Gordo and Marks story and I had a hard time getting invested. I like Gordo, but Mark still seems personality-less.
It's refreshing reading a story with a mid thirties, grumpy protagonist. But If Gordo continues to complain about how old he is, when he is in fact MY AGE, we are going to have problems.
It's not a fantasy series unless someone loses a hand. (Seriously, why does this happen so much?)

4.5
Oh man, Klune broke me. I cried so much. Not big wracking sobs, but these quiet little tears that just slipped through. But I think maybe the narrator, Kirt Graves, was part of it too. Multiplying the effect. I thought he was too flat with a lot of the characters' dialogue. But he sure had the voice of agony and betrayal and longing down!
I did get a little annoyed with the repetitions. Some of it was purposeful, reusing the same phrases for effect. Some of it just felt like a lazy cut and paste job. Similarly, a lot of the abrupt flashbacks threw me for a loop. Maybe if I'd been reading it, instead of listening, it would have been more quickly apparent when a sudden shift was a flashback. But as it was, I often was momentarily confused.
All in all, however, I really enjoyed this. Even as it shredded my heart.

4.5 ⭐️Este me gustó muchísimo más que el primero. No me sentí perturbada por la diferencia de edad entre los personajes porque no era tanta como en el libro anterior y porque Mark a pesar de saber desde siempre que Gordo era su compañero esperó a que este creciera. Me encanta en este libro el poder entender a Gordo por todo lo que pasó y ayuda a entender porque se comporta de cierta manera en el primer libro, literalmente le sacaron todo más de una vez.
Me gusta la idea de darnos personajes que se equivocan y que según la perspectiva de cada uno es como lo podemos ver, como pasa por ejemplo con Thomas. En el primer libro funciona como un Alfa, un padre bondadoso que le da toda la familia y conocimiento que necesita tanto Ox como Joe, mientras que en este libro lo vimos como una especie de hermano mayor para Gordo y como lo abandona en Green geak para proteger a su manada sin pelear lo suficiente por su brujo.
La pareja de Mark y Gordo me gustó mucho, me hubiera gustado tener más momentos lindos en el presente, pero entiendo que como ellos mismo dicen, el azul era parte de esa relación y justamente lo que determina que queden juntos es la catástrofe que estaba ocurriendo.
