In general, I’d say this is better than the previous book. There are some minor quibbles about prose quality as this is (according to my local bookstore’s shelving methods) technically YA however covers some topics and graphic sex I normally wouldn’t associate with the YA label.
I’d recommend this book for anyone who is a fan of teen wolf (particularly anyone fond of Sterek or Stiles as Gordo is an older, more jaded, chain-smoking Stiles) or gay werewolf fiction. Will continue on to the next book in the series after knocking a few other novels off my TBR list.

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
