Imagine my happiness when I checked my email the next day and saw a message from the author himself. But, I wanted to read the book so much, I applied. He said the final draft of the book was ready and he was looking for 75 book bloggers from all over the world to send a copy in exchange for a review. I wanted to read Brothersong so bad my desire must have manifested into a Tweet by the author that I saw the next morning. “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” There’s a saying by Paulo Coelho that goes. Within the next two weeks, I finished the rest of the three books and could almost feel this pain in my chest - the hollow of not being able to wait till October 13, 2020, when the final book in the series, Brothersong, would be released.
I was only thirteen chapters in, but I was in love with the characters. I was tired, my eyelids heavy with sleep, but my heart was pounding. When I looked at the time again, it was past 4.30 AM, birds already starting to chirp outside my window. The story drew me in so strongly I couldn’t stop until the first part was over. I started reading the book at 1 AM - some “light reading” before going to bed. He created characters that felt more real than most authors and was adept at describing scenes that filled your heart with warmth.
There was something special in TJ Klune’s writing. The only reason I decided to give the book a try was that I had recently finished reading The House on the Cerulean Sea by the same author and had loved the story immensely. Smith (authors of The Twilight Saga and Vampire Diaries respectively). It sounded like yet another half-baked attempt at creating werewolves, which would ultimately turn out to be romance filled with page after page of teenage angst - a belief cemented by Stephenie Meyer and L. I wasn’t very impressed when I read the blurb of Wolfsong - the first in TJ Klune’s four-book fantasy fiction series, Green Creek.
