Best Reading Month Ever?? —June Wrap Up || 20 books!
Okay, so the relationship in Wolfsong had a bit of angst, but my god, that was nothing compared to Gordo and Mark in Ravensong. Was I mad though?? No, not at all, because this is the kind of drama I want in lovers to enemies to lovers. With that being said, the romance wasn't quite as prevalent as I would have liked, but the emotions still flow through every interaction. The tension between these two dumbasses is undeniable, but man do they try to.
The rest of the plot is very serious and intense, with a good number of scenes making me cry once more, but there's also so much comedy? Even at the most inopportune times, Chris, Tanner, and Rico are cracking jokes and lightening the mood. It feels so true to them as characters, without messing with the pace.
Also, the found family just continues to squeeze my heart. I've fallen in love with every one of these characters, and even though Gordo is a giant idiot, I couldn't not love his rough-tough exterior, his morally grey ethics, but damn, does he have a big heart. He's always the first running into the danger and Mark is chasing after him, trying to keep this moron safe. That might be my new favorite ship trope, honestly.
Not sure how I'm feeling going into the next book. The story itself has me intrigued, particularly with an ending like that, but Robbie has yet to win me over, so I'm not sure how I'll like being in his head.
