Twilight had a lot of harmful relationship stereotypes and I don’t think that Wolfsong really addressed that. I get that Klune is playing with the fact that he recognizes parts of the story are like Twilight, but I don’t think it is really that funny or cute. At the point where Ox and Joe’s relationship takes the turn toward romance, a lot of characters start referencing Twilight as well and I wasn’t here for it. However, there were whole scenes in Wolfsong where I was like, this scene is nearly identical to Twilight. I read the whole Twilight series in high school and I didn’t think that I remembered that much about it. You have been warned.īut shit, that Twilight comment really stuck with me. But I don’t think I have ever cried as much reading a book as I did with this one. It is smooth and packs a big emotional punch. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed TJ Klune’s writing. It is a story that covers grief, found family, loneliness, and a wide range of other emotional topics. The story follows Ox from bullied and alone to being an embedded part of the Bennet pack. It is a long spanning story that manages to not feel too rushed despite the number of years it covers.
At 12 his father leaves, and the story continues from there until he is well into his twenties.
Wolfsong by TJ Klune is the first book in the Green Creek series. I hope that this statement now haunts you like it haunted me. And that statement influenced my whole experience with this book. Someone referred to Wolfsong as basically Twilight, but gay. So, I made the mistake of looking at reviews before reading Wolfsong.
