I'm loving this series so much and can't wait to read the 3rd book! I love Klune's writing and the emotional connection the writing builds towards the characters in every novel!

Gordo was forced into magic by his father, who disappeared from his life.

Gordo was also then abandoned by the Bennett Pack, and he has since then focused on his work and eventually came to care for a boy named Ox

After the events of book one, Gordo is now part of the Pack again but the danger is not over and they will need their Witch more than ever

Can Gordo find his place in the Pack, and will this be at Marks side if they can get over the previous betrayals

I really enjoyed this second installment, was nice to see things from Gordos perspective... and I'll say as well, I'm so glad I waited for the whole series to be re-released after that ending... right onto book 3!

Amazing!!! I'm so glad I was introduced to the klune as an author.. tj klune has a way of bringing the the reader in to the story and create connections with the characters

First of all, I loved the first book in the Green Creek series, Wolfsong, and I couldn’t wait to get back into the world of wolves, pack and found family. I have loved all of TJ Klune’s books and he writes so beautifully that I wish I could stay wrapped up in his words forever.

Ravensong follows on from the events of the first book but this time from the point of view of Gordo, the Bennett pack witch. His story takes us back in time to when he first meets the Bennetts and his mate and also shows us what happened on the road with Joe and the pack after events in Wolfsong before coming back to the present where there is another enemy to face.

I really loved getting to know his character better and to read all his thoughts and feelings about Mark, Ox and the rest of his pack. There is lots of grief, feelings of betrayal and anger as well as love and forgiveness in this stunning book. This book shows readers that Gordo is a complex character and his character development throughout is perfect.

I love all of the characters in this series, the Bennett pack and now the addition of the humans who bring found family into the fray. The group have such a strong bond together and there is even more action to sink your teeth into when hunters descend on Green Creek with the plan to eradicate all wolves.

Ravensong starts off at a quite relaxing pace as we get to know Gordo’s character more with short snippets of the past and his life growing up but it soon becomes a very fast paced sequel when the pack is threatened and they jump into action with plans to protect and save everyone.

I first read Wolfsong last summer and I thought I could jump straight into this sequel but I had to go back and skim the first book to refresh my mind. Also with the switch from Ox’s to Gordo’s POV, while brilliant, it took me a few chapters to re-calibrate my brain and separate who was speaking and the connection of the relationships while I got it smoothed out and then it was easy getting back into the flow.

I absolutely adored this novel and will definitely be reading the next two books in the Green Creek series sooner rather than later! If you are a fan of fantasy, wolf shifters and stories with action and romance, this is definitely the series for you!

Will TJ Klune ever write a book that doesn’t hurt in all the best ways? We have yet to see!

Gordo’s story was everything I needed it to be and more. Filled with the same heartwarming (and heartbreaking) themes as Wolfsong, don’t be deterred that this book doesn’t follow our beloved Ox and Joe as closely! We still see all the characters from Wolfsong (or at least the ones that made it to the end) and I loved that following Gordo gave us glimpses into moments unseen and gave us different perspectives.

I love these characters with my whole heart.

Hands down my favourite series ever. I never thought I’d be so emotionally attached to wolves. For a big book, I couldn’t stop reading it.

I will admit, this took me a bit longer to get into than Wolfsong, it is based round one of the significant events in the first book, but from a different perspective. For some reason the different POV within the same series left me with an adjustment period!
This is centered round Gordo, a prominent character in wolfsong. A very complex, loyal but an eternally frustrated character, and this goes a long way to explaining why. The fractured relationship with the Bennet's and his serious trust issues. Another layer of depth to this rich and absolutely stunning series
That said, once it clicked it clicked. This is just as beautiful, the writing is just as exceptional and the emotions still as raw!

this was a great sequel - loved getting to know the characters further, and see the character development (both in personality, decision making and age/growth!!) i loove TJs writing so much xxx

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved reading this POV in the Green Creek series and found the character and his backstory extremely fascinating and how he wove into the story of all the other characters.

Gordo is far too stubborn of a protagonist. I love him for it, but it meant the plot was a little slower going than the first book in the series due to everyone having to break down Gordo's emotional barriers before we could have a breakthrough and then progress the plot. The emotional pay off for it was fucking sweet though in the end.

I think my only problem with this book was pacing - it felt like large periods of time spent filling time. Telling us about the 3 years they spent away was sorta pointless because we knew enough already and they were back anyway. Gordo's complicated history with Mark was at least worth the emotional trauma in the end when they ended up HEA as mates but... Gordo's childhood did not get satisfactory closure - a good wrapping-up of that plotline would've been if he'd ever got to confront his father but we're setting him up as a future bad guy instead for a different book, when he really should've been Gordo's big bad instead of some random hunters from his childhood. Ox's big bad was the guy who killed his mum, and there would've been merit in Gordo getting the same treatment.

I also feel like, as wonderful as the work put towards and the pay off of the reconciliation between Gordo and Mark, we didn't really get to see them together as much as I would've liked. They spent a large portion of their time not even able to talk because Mark was stuck as a wolf frequently after they mated.

I still love the loving found family and small town coziness of this series, but I'm not particularly hyped about the next book being about Robbie and Kelly. Maybe they'll make a compelling couple once we get Robbie's POV, but right now I don't see the potential for depth in Kelly's character - he's a 2D guy who loves his family and... That's it? He kinda likes his pack too I guess but family seems to come absolute first for him.

This partly followed on from Wolfsong but also takes you back in the past. I actually found this one better than the first book and I really enjoyed that one too.

I loved the dual timeline and finding out so much more about the pack links. It was nice to see things from a different point of view compared to Wolfsong.

Love love love these characters and their bonds. It was just so good to be back in this world and I can’t wait to see what else comes the Bennetts way.

This is an auto buy author for me now as I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read by TJ Clune.

Wonderful series

Honestly, in my eyes TJ Klune can do no wrong, so this is going to be a glowing review.

I read and completely and utterly fell in love with Wolfsong, which is part one in the Green Creek series. Oz is now easily one of my favourite characters to ever not exist. Which means I was very nervous going into Ravensong song as it's a sequel but written from the point of view of a different character. However, I should have remembered I was in incredibly safe hands. We do meet this character in Wolfsong, so I advise people read it first because it will just make more sense. Plus, you'll be missing out on such a good read!

Where Wolfsong focused on Ox and Joe, Ravensong is Gordo's journey as he navigates his way as the Bennett's witch, trying to ignore the pull of a certain Wolf he thought he'd walked away from.

I don't know how Klune does it, but he manages to make me laugh one minute, then cry like a baby the next. He plays with my emotions, leaving me turning page after page as I become desperate to find out more. He is such an underrated writing talent and I just fell headfirst into Green Creek and didn't want to leave! His characters are warm and engaging, and you want to always be in their world and surrounded by their found family.

Although I wish there could have been more Ox and Joe (purely selfish because they're my favourite) I understand that it wasn't their story so their presence had to be reduced slightly. I still loved being in Gordo's world though, and finding out more about his childhood and how he became a witch.

Klune not only writes a strong protagonist story that you want to inhale, but he also has a cast of supporting characters you fall in love with. He's just a magician that knows how to pull on my heartstrings.

I just loved every lyrical word.

Book one, Wolfsong, introduced to the Bennett wolf pack via Ox, book two, Ravensong, follows Gordo. Ox's best friend/boss/mentor/surrogate father figure, and the witch to the pack.

We get details about Gordo's childhood, his witch father and his untrusting mother and the way they affected his own ability to trust and lead him to ignore life-changing bonds.

Through Gordo's point of view we also get more details about what happened in the background of book one when Gordo, Joe, Carter and Kelly go off hunting Richard Collins. I really appreciated this extra context and it shows just how intricately that these books have been woven together. So much thought has gone into the planning of the series and it's just beautiful.

The characters are all amazingly written and I love the banter! It can be a life or death scene and someone will say something that will still make me laugh and I love it!

There is a rather spicy scene so these books are definitely not for younger readers. For people who don't wish to read it the run-up is clear enough that it can be easily skipped.

All in all these books have my heart!

I’m developing a serious TJ Klune addiction, and I’m ok with that.

This Bennett pack, though! They’re not just putting themselves through the emotional wringer - what about me?!

I loved reading Gordo’s story - his trauma, sadness, abandonment issues - and how he’s found again.

All of these books have been a joy so far (and I’ve already read the next in the series). What I particularly like, is how I’m drawn in to this book, and how I become so invested in their lives. Look, I know it’s a story about a werewolf pack, but at no point does it seem to be “just” a werewolf book. There are so many parallels that can be drawn to real people’s lives (especially that of found family). And that’s why I love them.

And werewolves. Of course.

After struggling with book one. I still wanted to give this a go. Hoping book two would interest me more. But I've come to the conclusion TJ Klune is just not for me.
I ended up putting this book down 23% in.

I love TJ Klunes books, and Ravensong is no exception. I was hooked from the beginning. I love the writing style, and I loved the storyline

I think it really says something about Klune’s writing and how he tells a story that, despite finding the actual writing maybe not the best (it does get repetitive, and I swear to god, if I have to hear Ox talking about how his dad said he was going to get shit all his life, I seriously might scream), I’m still extremely invested in the story. I care about the characters and what’s happening with them. Maybe it’s the ridiculously high levels of drama and angst?
I love that this is Gordo's story, as he's probably my favourite character in the series, and despite him coming across as a complete asshole, he's actually really caring for those close to him. He's just been very hurt and he has a hard time getting over that hurt. I liked that this was 100% Gordo's story, but that the overarching story of Green Creek is also still happening, so there is never any let up on the drama, action, and angst. This is PEAK TJ Klune.

Okay so I'm a massive fan of T.J. Klune's House on the Cerulean Sea so I thought I'd really enjoy the Green Creek series but it just didn't mesh with me. I'm so sorry T.J. Klune, I'm actually so disappointed in myself!

What I did enjoy about Ravensong was the Slowburn romance between Gordo and Mark and how we delve into Gordo's past. I thought the fact that the MCs slept with other people was kinda refreshing because I find it's rare in romance for MCs to have other love interests?

I did struggle to get into the story but I think that's a me thing opposed to anything about the book. I'll definitely try more T.J. Klune but I don't think Ravensong or the Green Creek series are for me...

I did start this some time ago, but due to life, I haven't picked it up for so long, and I am now so annoyed with myself that I left it so long ! I just devoured 3/4 of this book in 2 days. This series is beautifully written and action-packed, and I LOVE IT ! I can't wait for Heartsong !

Thank you to Netgalley, Pan Macmillian, and T. J Klune, for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

STUNNING! 😍

Changing the pov and picking up the story from halfway through the first book was a wild concept to me and I’m not sure I was fully invested in the idea… but 2/3 chapters in, it absolutely made sense and honestly a pretty genius idea!

The story picks up where the pack is split into two to find Richard Collins and is told from gordos POV. I loved getting to know more about Gordo, seeing him blossom in his own way and dealing with his own struggles.

Super excited to see where the series leads next!
