Reviews with content warning for Sexual assault - Wolfsong

What a unique and beautiful read this was. I had high hopes after reading HITCS, and Klune did not disappoint. This book reads flashes of thoughts, memories, and feelings. In addition to being extremely lyrical and poetic, the way this book was crafted often had me adopting the narrator’s emotions as my own. I was extremely invested in these characters and this family for the entire book, which really emphasized the experiences of grief, despair, and forgiveness that are explored and championed in this book. Very excited to read the next books!

I found the book a bit repetitive at points. The characters felt quite flat and two dimensional. Whilst some of the characters were likeable, I found that the main love interest didn't have much about him. The writing was sometimes quite cringeworthy and juvenile, and just full of things that I felt people wouldn't naturally say. I would have loved some more interesting females within this book, Elizabeth was well written but Jessie just seemed to be a plot point to advance the romance. I will say that the author seemed to write grief really well, it was incredibly touching. I also enjoyed the action sequences, they were fast paced and very engaging. A mixed bag for me - I won't carry on with the series but I will try the author's other works!

This book had me in its grip from the very start. I had to speed up my listening at the end because I couldn’t put it down. The age gap and it just being explained away by “wolves being different” was kind of weird as were the smut scenes but I still loved this book and thought it was incredible.
