Reading from Gordo’s point of view was just so raw and real - I came love his character all the more, despite the hilarious curmudgeon front he puts up.
To finally letting the joy in…holding the sadness, the relief, the joy.
The blue and the green.
I love the way TJ Klune uses colors to describe emotional states. It’s so vivid.
I am diving right into Heartsong, and then will be impatiently waiting for the re-release of Brothersong in July.
The world is a hard place right now - it always has been, but I think maybe those of us paying attention feel that now more than ever.
Reading a book with characters who have experienced so much darkness, loss, trauma, and violence that overcome by the bonds of love, friendship, and family is exactly the kind of story I need right now.
To remember that we are strong together, and that love is always stronger than hate.
This series is a gift - I have a feeling I will return many a time to Green Creek. Thank you for the family I’ve found within these pages, TJ Klune.

I am a very sensitive person, who doesn’t enjoy pushing the boundaries of what I’m comfortable with. This book had some heavy, dark themes. I was able to move through it all…definitely with some tears, but I will say TJ Klune is excellent at mixing the heavy with the humor, so it never feels solely one way. Most of the really disturbing stuff, like mentions of child death, abandonment, death of parent, and murder are flashbacks. There are somevoxrusso's review against another edition

I found Ravensong followed closer to a plot-based narrative, but still retained the poetic elements of what made Wolfsong unique. Because it is definitely a unique narrative style that I don’t know is for everyone. The use of repetition, jumping between past & present, dialogue among pack bonds, and alternative sentence structure all contribute to such an impactful story of belonging, family, love, heartbreak, and always <i>packpackpack</i>
Ravensong opens the door to Gordo’s backstory. We know there’s some traumatic history based on his actions in Wolfsong, and we get the full, horribly heartbreaking scope of things surrounding his relationship with Mark, and the pack as a whole. I loved the focus on an older couple and we get some great scenes of comic relief from the “Team Human” shop guys.
In short - absolutely fantastic.
