First reread 5/13-5/15/24 

 

This book packs an emotional punch. Gavin learning to trust, learning people can and will care about him, agreeing to leave with the BP, being so willing to offer himself up at the end. The town <b>showing OUT</b> and refusing to leave <i>their</i> wolves behind. Carter putting words and acknowledgement to what he feels for Gavin. Talking to Ghost!Kelly. Wandering aimlessly across the country similar to how they hunted Richard Collins down. Telling Gavin “hey, it’s okay, look away” in the cave… this may be the most impactful book because its not JUST Carter and Gavin’s story, or rather Livingstone doesn’t affect JUST Carter and Gavin. Will, Ox, the town, the battle, the aftermath. Just goddamn. That’s what I say about the whole mf series. Goddamn. Still without a doubt one of the best series I’ve ever read in my entire 36 years on this planet thus far. I might even need to reread them all again via audio at work in a few months. I think I’d like to take back any previous answer I’d given in regards to “If you could live in any world across any book you’ve ever read, which would it be?” because I’ve chosen Harry Potter in the distant past, and most regularly the Percy Jackson world, and even the Shadowhunter world a few times… or if nothing else I’d like to rotate between Green Creek, Percy Jackon, and Shadowhunters. It’s a question about fictional worlds, so yes, it is allowed.
