Match BookFeral Creatures

2021 · 368 pages · Fantasy
How it reads
Feral Creatures is fantasy (post-apocalyptic urban fantasy, specifically), and its dominant mood is adventurous. It's driven by momentum, discovery and getting into trouble. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.
It's set in a big city setting, in the future, told in the first person by several narrators. Its central concerns are survival, friendship and nature. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It's a later book in a series — you'll usually want to start earlier. The ending resolves happily. At 368 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.
