THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.
“what happened next wasn’t exactly extraordinary in any way. He simply took my hand in his and we watched the sun melt into the ocean.”
I am going to start with this book being one of the very rare books to catch my attention with the very first sentence.
The writing style of this book was so unique and beautiful without it being too flowery. I loved how each of the chapters were written and I remember thinking of how there could be a book like this in the world. It is exactly my type and my style. and plus, WOLVESSS!! You put wolves in a story and it will always get my attention right away. There is just something so beautiful about wolves that makes them so fun and mesmerising to read about. I find wolves such beautiful animals and I loved being able to read a book that was centered around them in a way.
The relationships of each character and how they were written was my other favorite part of this book. They just seemed so raw and wonderful that it made me love each of them to the bottom of my heart. They were very much explored but not to the point that readers would get bored of it too quickly. The main character was practical and didn’t get me annoyed to the point that I wanted to pull my hair out like a lot of fantasy protagonists with how stupid and impractical they could be at times. Even though I had no idea what was going on sometimes because the world building was a bit off, I still fell in love with the characters despite not being able to fully know who each one of them was yet. I LOVE WENDLYN SOMEONE CAN FIGHT ME ON THIS. And they are so sweet, I cannot.
“You don’t really know whether you’ll make a good parent until you are one.”
Old style references was also something that very much added to the subtle charm of the book, even though this was just pretty obvious in the first part of the story.
When I was reading this book I was literally happy and excited one second and then feeling like my heart was crushed the next moment. I loved everything that the book focuses on. The plot was seriously wonderful and I can say that this is a book that was definitely for me. It was hitting me in all the right spots. With all the supernatural stuff going on everything was still surprisingly relatable for normal people, especially teenagers.
This was a funjurney to be on even though the right was to describe this is a bit moody. Though, there were still light and fun parts to balance everything out.
This book has me amazed.
“i guess i knew less about the universe that i thought i did”
I forgot just how fast books can transport you to a whole different world in a way that nothing else can. And I really felt it in this book. This was such a wonderful fantasy and romantic read that readers should get when they are in the mood for books that will show you the other side of the mundane world and just how extraordinary a normal life could be if you just choose to believe it.
Every thing unfolded so beautifully in the end and I just really have no other adjective to describe it. Beautiful.
