4.5

I've been putting this book on hold for a few months. I was honestly afraid to enter this book knowing that it was going to be sad because it is the story of Gordo. But I'm glad I read it. I loved this story, and while Wolfsong is still my favorite, Ravensong was satisfying.

First, I still love Gordo. I consider him a super strong and kind man (in his way). He went through a lot and I understood his annoyance, I understood why he treated Mark like that (although I didn't think he should). He lost so much and he got tired of it. I adore him and I only want the best for him. I must say that his relationship with Thomas surprised me, they really had a strong relationship, and unfortunately, time was not enough for them to reconcile. I add that Gordo and his friends are the best things that could happen to the book, I love them all. And his relationship with Ox is super cute and tender, Ox takes care of Gordo and Gordo takes care of Ox.

Mark was a beautiful man, indeed, whenever he spoke he seemed to be the cutest man alive. There is one thing that bothered me, something that he did, but if I say it is a spoiler, but I did not understand what crossed his mind when he did it (it is a small thing, but it still bothered me). Regardless, I like him. I loved when he was, tender, possessive, kind, protective, I just appreciate him too much. I understood his decisions, just like I understood Gordo's. Both were put in difficult positions and made the decisions they believed they should make.

The relationship between Mark and Gordo seemed too beautiful to me, and it developed during the book. We saw their past together and how they fell in love until we saw how they completely separated, we continue to see how they were in a complicated situation, and then we see how they reconcile and that is beautiful. The two manage to understand each other and although things are not perfect, they are there to help each other.

Regarding relationships, I must say that the relationship between Gordo, Joe, Kelly, and Carter, was beautiful and unexpected.

The plot was fine, nothing extraordinary. I didn't understand what was happening, but I put it more in myself than in the book. I came here for characters more than anything. The little I understood about the plot had me worried about the health of my beloved Bennette pack.

I liked this book, but not as much as I liked the first one.
