About this deal

You’ll meet someone,” she said, suddenly fierce. “You’ll see. A girl or a boy and they’ll worship the ground you walk on because you deserve to be treasured. And I’ll be there to say I told you so because you’ve earned it. If anyone in this world has earned it, it’s you.” Me arrancó lágrimas de amor y de desgarro y me hizo ver un tipo de historia de amor completamente diferente a lo que se acostumbra a ver.

The characters were not perfect but they were born that way. Epic and awesome in their own way. Little shining stars in this infinite universe of Klune.There’s a lot you don’t … know. About me. Things were … hard. For a while. Sometimes, they still are. But Ox, he just … I have nightmares. About bad men. About monsters. And he makes them go away.” I tried to swallow past the lump in my throat. this was reminiscent of that long forgotten innocence, that hope, and yet had that element of realism that made it so beautifully nostalgic. the feeling of family, of belongingness? it practically RADIATED from this book. and it enveloped me in this feeling of protection i never wanted to get away from. and idk why, but the simple matter of fact type of writing hit me right in the feels. 🥺💘 Couldn't get into the writing. Some people said they found it lyrical but I just found a lot of it corny and overly repetitive. The humour also wasn't my kind of humour so the funny parts sometimes read cringy to me When he was sixteen, he gave his heart to a blue eyed boy who loved him and later on he trusted him enough to keep his family safe. What’s this, really? A shifters book? A love story? A tale of family and union? A coming-of-age book? A soul mates’ destiny? A fantasy novel? The light against the dark?

Definir el estilo de Klune es complicado. Es poético, directo al grano y precioso, pero en ningún momento se hace pesado. El libro puede intimidar por su longitud de 700 páginas, pero lo leerás como si fuera de doscientas. Además de una narración descriptiva y de acción bastante específica y desarrollada, hay muchísimos diálogos de muchísimos personajes, lo cual agilizan y balanzan perfectamente el libro, haciendo que su lectura sea completamente disfrutable, entretenida y te engancha desde el primer momento. Wolfsong is the first book in beloved the Green Creek series by bestselling author TJ Klune. Continue the journey with Ravensong. I often struggle with romance books where there is a lot of telling about the connection between two MCs but no showing. SHOW ME THE LOOOOVE. I love an EPIC romance, and so many authors give me a friends-with-benefits vibe. That is NOT a problem in this book. Ox and Joe have a romance for the ages, and not because of some silly shifter-book "insta-love" mates thing, which I see all the time. We really get to see Ox and Joe grow and change together, overcoming insurmountable obstacles, and getting stronger and more complex as a couple. To put simply, if you asked me to describe certain moments between them that I found cute, there wouldn’t be many simply because there weren’t any. Besides the small mini date and how they were together domestically (not to mention, that was 87% in), they just . . . were there. Yes, they had cute moments, but they weren't moments that made the feelings between them grow. The manner in which Ox began feeling towards Joe was sexual first, and when Joe courts him (he's a wolf, remember that), I couldn't see how Ox began feeling drawn to Joe, other than his reasonable arousal. He cried during happy moments: when he was fifteen and he got a shirt for present. A shirt that signified that he was now part of the Gordo’s team at the shop where he was working.So Joe gave Ox his stone wolf and he took him to meet his family. A weird family who lived at the house at the end of the lane. And like most of the families, the Bennetts had their own secrets. As you can see, pretty possessive, and he wasn’t even eighteen when he said that. Joe’s parents accepted that even though he was seventeen, he can be with Ox, but it still was weird for me. They had the first short kiss when Joe was seventeen and Ox twenty three, but I wished it happened later when Joe was legally adult. Also, it’s not like they had more romantic encounters after that, because both of them didn’t had any sexual interaction until Joe was twenty one. I still liked their relationship, they both protected each other and would sacrifice themselves without a second thought if the other was in danger. They fit together perfectly and I can't wait to read more about them in the next books. Y VAMOS A VER. Es que hay demasiado que comentar, pero el tema de los Alfas, de los magos y sus barreras, tatuajes que se mueven, los cantos a la luna con significados diferentes, la forma de introducir la sinestesia... No sé, tantas cosas, tantos pequeños detalles que me volaban la mente. Quiero saber más sobre la jerarquía del mundo de los hombres lobo, siento que esto es un primer vistazo. Personajes como Robbie tienen mucho que aportar, y no lo hacen porque este no es su momento de contarlo, sino el de Ox. Así que esperaré (im)pacientemente a empaparme del worldbuilding de Klune. I popped your coming-out cherry.” He grimaced as he stopped for a red light. “That didn’t sound any better.” TJ Klune wrote an outstanding, emotional and extraordinary story when he wrote Wolfsong. I can’t think of one thing I didn’t love about it. The narration was fantastic if you like audio. I highly recommend this one! 5 stars!

Also: Here’s the link to the essay review on my blog. (If you actually want to torture yourself and read the extended version. *lol*) When he's 16 he notices the house down the lane,which has been empty for a while,is now occupied by a family... Is it the best writing style I ever came across? No, there are many repetitions, Ox’s is very young when we get to know him and his POV is still pretty naïve, but that’s all okay, because the writing style has enough heart to make up for it. You feel with the characters, you grow with them, you become a part of the story and that’s everything I needed to enjoy this book. For me it worked. For me it was perfect and since every reader has a subjective opinion about the books, they read I’ll just go with mine and write an extremely long and detailed review. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! But I’ve THOUGHTS, yeah, capital letters, and I need to get them out of my system. Mostly because it’s been a year and I had enough time to think about the book, but also because I finally want to read “Ravensong” and I can only do that once I found some sort of closure with the first book. So, here goes nothing! Let’s do this! Onto a slightly different topic, there are... things that happen in this book that made me feel VERY frustrated and mad. I was frustrated along with some of the MCs, and one of the things I am most grateful for is that T.J. Klune didn't let ANY characters off the hook easily. It is one of my biggest pet peeves when a character does something that makes me mad, and the other characters just let it go like nothing ever happened, like they weren't ever upset. NO. I LOVE that T.J. let his characters be resentful and petty and frustrated and emotional and annoyed, just like real people. There are a lot of emotions there that really rang true for me.

I slid open the closet door. One side was mostly empty. Things were left, though. Little pieces of a life no longer lived. i swear i thought i was gonna love ox more than joe (idek how that’s possible, bc the way i love both of these idiots 🥺 i do love joe a lil more though lol) but i didn’t?? and i was so surprised fs. ox made some really bad decisions (even near the end lmao that i wanna forget about) BUT I LOVED THEM TOGETHER SM OMG. they’re so perfect for each other eurgh. 😭 I knew from chapter 1 this was going to be a 5 star read. That this was going to be the best thing I've read in a while. Or maybe even one of the best books I've read, EVER. There was never anyone else the entire time I was gone. There was never anyone else for me. Because even if you couldn’t hear me when I called for you, the howl in my heart was always meant for you.”

Elizabeth Bennet is a queen, and nobody can convince me otherwise. She is the personification of understanding, unwavering support, love, and overall the perfect mom. She always knew just the right thing to say, and when to say it to help Ox, to make him believe in himself, and to remind him that he was loved and worthy of this love. I am seriously in love with her character, and while she is not one of the main characters in this book, she shines so brightly. Nobody would be where they are if it wasn’t for her.He said,"There was never anyone else the entire time I was gone.There was never anyone else for me.Because even if you couldn't hear me when I called for you,the howl in my heart was always meant for you." Ox Matheson was twelve when his father taught him a lesson: Ox wasn’t worth anything and people would never understand him. Then he left. He told me that. He said I was just a dumb ol’ Ox who was gonna get shit all my life. But he was wrong.”
