So, this book is not something I read a lot, but I have read from time to time. First things first, this book is def for the LGBTQIA+ section. If you're one of those people who hates/"doesn't support" that lifestyle, stay clear of this book. Second, this is a furry book. That in itself should set up exactly in what direction this book is going to be going in. Not to say that all furry books are porn, but there's def sex in this one. With that out of the way, This is more a slice of life book than anything else. There is a lot of drama in the book and quite honestly I really did like this book a lot more for the message that was in the book than anything else.

The main character's name is Dale. He's a regular human on his way home from being out in space. While being transported to earth via some StarTrek beam, the transmission is disrupted by a terrorist group. Because of this Dale is then turned into a furry in order to save his life. With that said, the rest of the story is Dale learning how to deal with no longer being human, but being a furry and having to learn how to live as a furry. It's also about learning how to have more empathy towards another way of life that you may not have been able to see due to your birth. Not trying to say that it's the dreaded "privilege" thing, it's not. It's simply being able to see something from someone else's shoes, and learning how live looking at life from a different angle.

This book covers everything from racism, to learning how to accept yourself to basically learning how to live life. With that said, if you're fine with LGBTQIA+ books, and furries, I would highly suggest this book to you. If any of the above are things that make you A.) make fun B.) turn your nose up. You should prob stop following me. I read an assortment of books from Horror to technical books, to smut to anything with a good plot regardless if it's straight or not. There will be more of these in my timeline.

The creatures that he has created are wondrous, and explaining all about being this specific hermaphrodite feline centaur, i would love to be one, you can really put yourself in the shoes of the character. Unfortunately the punctuation and grammar were horrendous and the pronouns were being wrong all over the place if you were following what character they were referring to.

Amazing and wanting more

I would lo e to see more of Dale and the group wishing to see him take up having some cubs as well. I love that this story is an inspired one, having tried to write myself never had the time or the encouragement to continue doing so. So please keep up the good work

I really wanted to like this book, as the premise sounded interesting, but it's just not very well written. No really thought is put into the mental repercussions of such a dramatic shift, something that'd be likely to shatter someone's psyche. (I know that feeling all too well, so it kind of rang hollow, unfortunately.)
