[READ] Out of Position, 1/2 of next Hitchhiker's
14 years ago
I finished reading Out of Position a couple of weeks ago, actually, but hadn't posted about it. It is, in all honesty, a good story and a good book. The author actually works the characters' furryness into the story - ears and tails and antlers and scents and other animal characteristics all come into play in the story. Some furry authors don't do that, they just offhandedly mention "oh btw he's a fox" at the beginning, and for the rest of the story he could be a human or an alien or whatever, it just doesn't matter.
Aside from that, the story is well-told and you actually get a feel for the characters' personalities and motivations, something else which is often lacking in furry stories, and in a fair amount of non-furry fiction as well. Kyell has actually gotten good reviews of his stories outside of the furry fandom, and it's well deserved.
I've also started on the next book in the Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. I'm about halfway through it or so. With some personal plans and things at work that have come up, I haven't found as much time to read in the last two weeks as I did in the previous two. I'm keeping an eye on fixing that though. Going to read a few more chapters after I finish writing this, in fact.
After Restaurant, I'm not sure if I want to continue on to the next Hitchhiker's book, or something else. We'll see how I feel at the end of it.
