This was beautiful. It’s the second book that I’ve read by T.J. Klune, and it absolutely won’t be the last. Mainly because I NEED to know how Mark and Gordo get their shit together. But also because the two books that I’ve read have been so very good!
I can’t review this book without talking about the weird morally gray area that I was in for the first 30% or more. Was it grooming? Is it ok because Joe’s a werewolf and Ox was 16? Ox is so strongly Lawfully Good that it absolutely wasn’t grooming. And the werewolf thing is a part of it, but only a little. It’s mostly Ox.
I’m obsessed with Ox. I totally get little Joe Bennett. He seems awesome. Joe Bennett pissed me off SO bad when he left. But I think them spending that time apart was necessary. Even if I hated the reason and how it happened. And I DID hate the reason and how it happened. But I LOVED what it did for Ox. Not that he felt abandoned or had to grieve his mom and his alpha and his mate leaving, but how it made him put those pieces back together and be strong on his earn. To learn that he was strong on his own and he had a choice in the end.
UGH. It was very good. I’m not over it. I want to read Ravensong RIGHT NOW! I still have so many questions!
