Normalmente, cuando un libro tiene tantísimo hype como lo tiene este, te esperas cosas que quizá se cumplan... o no. En este caso, La canción del lobo ha sido, desde la primera hasta la última palabra, toda una experiencia para mi corazoncito. Qué pasada.

Esta es otra de esas historias que son 10% fantasía y 90% romance y déjenme decirles que la aMÉ. Porque no es un romance puramente romántico. Es un libro que habla de AMOR. Del amor de una familia, del amor de los amigos y la diferencia que ese amor hace en la vida de uno. That was this book. In fact, I don't think I'll ever stop reading it. I think I'll just re-read chapters for the rest of time. The connection between Ox and all of the other characters is so awesome, so simple, and yet so beautifully complex at the same time. No me esperaba conectar tanto con el libro, pero de verdad os digo que el estilo del autor es simplemente increíble. Sabe contar muy bien todo y lo plasma con una maestría envidiable. Lo único negativo que encontraría es que al tener tantos personajes –que además entre ellos están conectado al ser manada– a veces es complicado seguir las conversaciones con tantas intervenciones, pero en todo lo demás funciona a la perfección como una máquina hiper mega engrasada. Otra cosa que me ha encantado es la ambientación. Me recordaba mucho a los libros de antes, tipo Crepúsculo, de esos pueblecitos perdidos donde nunca pasa nada y tienen ese encanto otoñal/invernal constante que te envuelve como una mantita caliente. De hecho, ahora que lo menciono, no solo me recordó a los libros de Meyer por la ambientación, sino por cómo suceden las cosas. Tiene ese sentimiento de nostalgia de los libros de romance paranormal de hace una década, algo que me ha hecho extremadamente feliz. Siento que no tiene pretensiones, que cuenta la historia que tiene que contar sin importar nada más. Se agradece.There are some fantastic characters in this story. Not just the main ones, so many of the secondary ones had a place in my heart. Everyone has a purpose to the story. As much as I loved them all, none were as special to me as Ox. I completely adored him. I loved his relationships. His relationship with his mom, with Gordo, all his guys at the shop, and everyone in the Bennett family. His relationship with Joe is by far the most important. I love how it started out as friendship, then grew into so much more. Joe saw Ox as the man he really was. He wasn’t the quiet, awkward boy. He was everything. Sigh.

Ox is a sweet, shy, and sad character. Not in the sense that he is sad, but in the sense that it made me sad to read how he felt worthless and stupid, and how he thought he did not deserve anything good in his life because he was simply Ox, a nobody. He goes through so much and he changes A LOT. His character growth is truly impressive, and masterfully done, he has to make tough choices, becomes responsible for others’ safety, and he becomes a fierce leader through it all. Moving to the story. The book is from Ox’s pov, which I don’t usually like, as I prefer if there’s a dual pov, but it surprisingly didn’t bother me here. The action takes place over a long period of time, because we get to know the main characters from childhood to adulthood, so the plot is complex and a lot happens in the book. I actually liked it, we saw them grow up and become more mature with their decisions. Without giving away much, let me just say that I couldn't stop reading and put this book down, because the story captivated me from the very beginning. There’s a lot you don’t … know. About me. Things were … hard. For a while. Sometimes, they still are. But Ox, he just … I have nightmares. About bad men. About monsters. And he makes them go away.” I tried to swallow past the lump in my throat.

It's a flawless book and shows that you can take the fantastic and make it so very human. I thought the supernatural would be what grabbed me but instead it's Ox's humanity and humility and loyalty. I hope there will be more. Wildly recommended." — Mary Calmes I shrugged. Wasn’t the first time he’d said that to me, even though Mom asked him to stop. It was okay. He was my dad. He knew better than anyone.

He told me that. He said I was just a dumb ol’ Ox who was gonna get shit all my life. But he was wrong.” i had to stop myself from tearing you apart...you’re amazing and beautiful, and sometimes i want to put my teeth in you just to watch you bleed. i want to know what you taste like…i don’t want anyone to touch you ever again…”Me arrancó lágrimas de amor y de desgarro y me hizo ver un tipo de historia de amor completamente diferente a lo que se acostumbra a ver. At the core of the story, though, are Ox Matheson and Joe Bennett. How they meet, how they grow up, together and separately, how they become family and eventually more. Mates. And I say, "NO, NOT OKAY! GET THE BOOK AND READ IT! BECAUSE I AM ALPHA. I AM TELLING YOU TO READ. THIS. BOOK." Definir el estilo de Klune es complicado. Es poético, directo al grano y precioso, pero en ningún momento se hace pesado. El libro puede intimidar por su longitud de 700 páginas, pero lo leerás como si fuera de doscientas. Además de una narración descriptiva y de acción bastante específica y desarrollada, hay muchísimos diálogos de muchísimos personajes, lo cual agilizan y balanzan perfectamente el libro, haciendo que su lectura sea completamente disfrutable, entretenida y te engancha desde el primer momento. i can't do justice to this story or the way it was written, honestly. this book spans a nearly 10 year period and is told exclusively through Ox's point of view. his relationships both familial and romantic are so full of heart and so damn real that you often forget you're reading a shifter/paranormal book. there's violence and drama too but this book shines so bright in its depiction of relationships.
