Wolfsong by TJ Klune
1.0
This is easily top 3 worst books I've read this year. I went into this because of the found family trope in it and god I was so disappointed with how the entire book is written and how the trope is executed. I love a book that makes me feel but all I felt reading this was anger, irritation, boredom and disgust.
Firstly, the writing style. It was repetitive and overdramatic and just so annoying. The author writes in a way that you can tell he's trying to evoke some deep, melancholic feelings in the readers but all it does is give off the vibes of a teenager. I do not need to read the words 'he said', 'I said', 'he screamed' 70 times consecutively!
HE SAID, “When I found you, I thought you were the entire world.”
He said, “I gave you my wolf because it was made for you.”
He said, “When Jessie came, it broke my heart.”
He said, “I tried to like her. I promise. And I do. I did.”
He said, “But I hated her. I hated her so much.”
He said, “When you broke up, I ran into the forest and howled at the moon.”
He said, “And then I smelled men on you.”
He said, “I smelled them on you and I had to stop myself from tearing you apart.”
He said, “I wanted to tell you to wait.”
He said, “I wanted to tell you that you needed to wait for me.”
He said, “But I couldn’t. Because it wasn’t fair to you.”
He said, “And then Frankie came and I… I don’t know. I never thought….”
I could brush it off at first but then it kept happening and I just began to feel frustrated.
