Overall, the final book of the Green Creek series was, to me, the weakest. Carter leaves the pack to track his soulmate and what it does to him and the pack felt unnecessary. It felt like unnecessary drama. Don't get me wrong, I still liked it, I just didn't like it as much as the other books. By the third book, I realized I was reading basically the Fast and the Furious, but with werewolves and magic instead of cars. Lots of emphasis on found family and fighting for your space in the world. Once I made that connection, it became a lot more fun.
Carter takes center stage here and his story is just not as interesting as the others. Yeah he almost loses his mind, but we the audience have a hard time sympathizing with him b/c he did it to himself. It makes the reunion that much more enjoyable though when almost all of the other characters say the same thing.
Once again, Klune does a lot of repeating of the past. It's not bad, but if you read these back to back you're like "let's move it along already". The story wraps up nicely though with a nice battle at the end.
I would love to see Klune play in this world again, maybe not with this family, but someone else. His world is interesting and vivid.
