It was good...
It's my fault. See, I read Wolfsong but I listened to Ravensong. I'm not saying that Ravensong was bad it's just that I didn't feel as sucked in as I was with Wolfsong. At first, this was because I was struggling to keep pace with the pack. There's time-jumping, trying to remember who was who and what was what. Then, once I gained my bearings, I was a bit discombobulated that a character I loved in Wolfsong made me want to scream in Ravensong. I was enjoying the journey but my thread joining me to my pack seemed to have severed.
Don't get me wrong, T.J. Klune is still an AWESOME writer, I just think I made a mistake by listening to this one. In the beginning, I was struggling with all the then and now's. There were also quite a few male characters in this one so at times it was hard to tell when the characters changed.
You have to concentrate with audios, especially when you are at the beginning. Characters need to be introduced, storylines need to be established and you have to work out what sort of intensity needs to be adhered to. Do you need to listen to every word of every sentence or you'll miss something important? Or is it the kind of story where you can faze out for a while and still get the gist of what is going on? Ravensong definitely needed all of my concentration.
I was thoroughly entertained by the fast-paced, funny and emotional story, that pulled on my heartstrings. Again, I felt a connection to the characters that made me feel the heartbreak and pain when loved ones are lost. The most pain though was listening to Gordo struggle with his feelings of abandonment and betrayal. It seemed that his magic was more like a burden and an obligation than being part of the pack. I completely understood his distrust when the Bennett's return. I wanted him to hurt them as much as what he was hurt. I feel like I needed to see more of the love...pack...more that shows their connection.
It's a bloody long listen but would have been even longer if I hadn't done some sneaky listening in my spare time. Would you believe it...THIS BOOK MADE ME CRY ON MY BIRTHDAY?!?! Of course, it was on the train AGAIN! So besides the facts that I had to work on my birthday, I also arrived with puffy eyes and the sniffles.
I really enjoyed Ravensong but I think I would have been better off reading it. I could have kept my own pace, settled into getting to know or re-know the characters, and may have absorbed the time-jumps better. The narrator's voice was easy to listen to and understand, I just struggled a little with the number of male voices he had to do.
I can't wait for more in this series and with that little tidbit at the end, I think things are going to get worse before they get better.
