Rafts by Utunu - Do try it out!
5 months ago
I am currently making it a bit of a point to talk about a book i had finished the other day and which I found rather stood out as a really nicely written and moving example of furry fiction.

I generally always enjoy stories taking us back to the very distant past, or a fantasy approximation of it. Add in both anthros and humans and I am already interested. Especially when the anthro is a big, strong Gnoll.^^
But Rafts also really touched on that nostalgia for a relatively simple boyhood adventure story, while mixing it with the m/m romance I did not know back then I longed for in my escapist sojourns.
It very much kept me engaged and I was finding myself really invested in the characters to the degree that the book also really made me cry at one part. ^^ ;
It is also a story with plenty of joyful parts, so, do not let it discourage you. I think the author did well in providing consolation for the sad bits as well. And, well, you guys might not be as easily brought to tears as this cat. ^^ ;
I do think the author deserves more recognition and I hope I can get some of you interested, too!
I do personally really recommend the audiobook version, though the book / ebook have some very beautiful illustrations you should not miss on (that, and Amazon does offer a discount for the audiobook if you buy it as an ebook).
