It starts out warm and fuzzy, and then it becomes an emotional rollercoaster that doesn't really let up until the end. Perhaps there are other books I've given 5 stars to that are better books, but T.J. Klune sure does know how to write emotions. And I love the emotions that he picks. Yes, these are werewolves, but there's no dominance bullshit. There's no condescension. There's no arrogance. There is support. There is love. And yes, also pain. But mostly there is acceptance and praise and trust. Even when it has to be rewon. This is an exciting and heartwarming tale that follows the story of a young guy named Ox. The story explores the themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and love, all while taking you on a thrilling adventure. One of the most impressive aspects of "Wolfsong” is the way in which Klune captures the emotions and experiences of his characters. The novel is filled with heartwarming moments that will make readers laugh, cry, and cheer along with the characters. Klune also does an excellent job of exploring the complexities of identity and the struggles that come with discovering who you are. Another standout feature of "Wolfsong” is the world-building. Klune creates a rich and vibrant world filled with unique creatures, traditions, and cultures. The wolf aspect is detailed and well thought out, with each pack having its own unique customs and beliefs. The world-building adds depth to the story and helps to immerse the reader in the world of the story. Overall, "Wolfsong” is a captivating and engaging read that is sure to leave a lasting impression on its readers. Klune's excellent writing, relatable characters, and vivid world-building make this book a must-read for fans of the paranormal romance and urban fantasy genres. I should start by saying I accidentally read the second book in this series, Ravensong, before realising at the very end that it was part of a series and had to come back and read book one. I was kicking myself for the first 100 pages of this book because I knew the twist that everything was alluding to but when what I knew from Ravensong was revealed, I really started to enjoy the mystery. I adore the cover. If you zoom in you can see the artistic components which are even better in real life. It looks like a model was made using different materials and photographed rather than your standard book cover image. Wolfsong, in a nutshell, is about being perceived as odd and finding your people with who you will thrive. This quote from Wolfsong sums up how I feel about this particular book and books in general: "...the incredible buried in the ordinary." At 554 pages, this was a marathon of a book to read and I did find it dragging towards the end but I don't think it could have been much shorter. It was not 554 pages of nothing There was so much story, deep insights and character development. The whole series, in fact, has a central storyline which is explored through different characters. I love this approach as peripheral characters are always the primary characters of their own story and I really enjoy exploring the same event from different perspectives. This novel is dramatic, romantic and in some points (page 157 in particular) completely hilarious. If you love the mysterious and the magical mixed with depth and emotion, you will thoroughly enjoy Wolfsong. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
