It was a pleasant surprise to be sucked into the world of Wolfsong, especially since I’ve had such a hard time reading lately. Ox is such a joy as the protagonist. He’s kind and dependable with just a dash of fierce to make him truly memorable. Joe was a tortured soul wrapped in a bouncy ball, particularly when he was around Ox. It was a little odd to have the romantic leads meet when Joe was ten and Ox sixteen, but it also made for some wonderful scenes once Ox finally saw Joe in a different light. I wouldn’t classify this as a traditional romance as Ox has relationships outside of his romance with Joe for the first 25% of the book. Additionally, Joe and Ox spends at least 10% of the book separated after their relationship begins due to certain plot points. These events certainly never detract from the main romance, but it does mean less time on the page for Joe and Ox as a couple.
The worldbuilding and storyline of the novel are pretty standard for the genre. It was the writing style that made me enjoy it so much - the action sequences were tense, the romantic tension between partners palpable, and the ending pulled all of the various threads together perfectly. There are three other books in this series, each dedicated to a different romantic queer couple within the pack. I honestly do not know if I will be reading the rest of the books for the simple fact it will be hard letting go of Joe and Ox, but perhaps enough time and distance will allow me to come back to Green Creek.
