this was such an easy 5 stars.
we know i really really struggle with second chance romance books, but this??? these two men being separated by years and years of anger and resentment and so much love worked so well for me. tj klune does such a good job at making you feel all those emotions without having his characters wax poetic for pages and about exactly how they feel. he just shows it though his characters’ actions and it’s so well done.
i love love LOVED getting gordo’s point of view of the years on the hunt and the years that the bennett’s first came back to green creek. and mark is so babygirl?? he seemed so intense & “cool” in wolfsong but seeing a teenage version was hilarious.
i loved that characters that seemed perfect and infallible in wolfsong were seen though other’s points of view and exposed how many mistakes they really did make. especially in the case of thomas bennett. we really do learn how many things he really did get wrong, even if he had the best of intentions. he’s still a great man, just messed up massively for gordo & mark.
i loved mark & gordo’s story and i especially loved the feeling of pack pack pack that we got in this book. the book is so emotional and frankly dark at some points but has just enough comic relief to make it bearable. ravensong really was a story about families, whether it’s the one you’re born into or the one you make.
once again, this was such an easy read that pulls you in and makes you feel like you are a direct part of the action. the overall plot was amazing and so unexpected. this was such a quick read, mostly because i didn’t put the book down for days. 12/10, will definitely read again.
