This sequel proved to be just as emotionally explosive and even more full of action than it’s predecessor, the magnificent Wolfsong. I couldn’t put it down and nearly cried out in anguish as I swiped to the last page, craving more more more.
Darker and angstier than Wolfsong, Ravensong shows us the story of Gordo, the witch, through his POV. The first part of the book fills in the 3 years Gordo, Joe, Kelly, and Carter were on the hunt for “The Monster.” This was interspersed with flashbacks to Gordo’s childhood progressing to his initial relationship with Mark.
In all honesty, I love Gordo as a character, but I loathe his dogmatic stubbornness. It was hard seeing that his attachment to his pain was standing in the way of his love for Mark.
There is lots, and lots of action in this book. Like in the first book, things keep coming at the Bennetts, and they keep fighting back, although not without casualties. And even though they win these battles, there’s still a bigger fight to be fought.
I won’t say more since there’s too much to this story, too much invested with Gordo and Mark, and the tale is not over.
I’ll leave you knowing that Gordo and Mark have a tenuous HFN at the end, and that Gordo once again takes Mark’s stone wolf.
This is definitely NOT a standalone novel. You will be seriously lost and confused if you read it on its own.
The narration was flawless and spectacular! This is so credit-worthy!!
