My Thoughts on The Creatures that We Are
"The Creatures that We Are" intrigued me from the start with its blend of action, fantasy, horror, and mystery. The premise alone, set against an apocalyptic backdrop with beasts and conditional powers, promised a wild ride. Now that I've delved in, here are my thoughts.
First Impressions
The novel immediately throws you into a world teetering on the edge of chaos. The story moves at a brisk pace, introducing characters and their unique, albeit limited, abilities fairly quickly. I appreciated not getting bogged down in excessive exposition early on. The author's style is unique, weaving in thematic questions that add a layer of depth to the narrative.
What Works Well
The characters are a definite highlight. They're not perfect, and their flaws make them relatable. I felt that the plot progresses smoothly and logically. It's not mind-blowing, but it's consistently engaging. I also appreciated the morally ambiguous nature of the characters, which made their decisions and actions feel more realistic in a world where survival is paramount. The "banter" between characters, as described by some, adds a touch of levity to an otherwise dark and serious story.
Areas of Concern
While the world-building is decent, I do feel it could be expanded upon. I wanted a richer, more detailed understanding of the world's history and the nature of the creatures that roam it. Although, the characters have some limitations on their superpowers, it is understandable. The author focuses more on the human element and their struggles.
Final Verdict
"The Creatures that We Are" is a solid read. It doesn't necessarily break new ground, but it executes its themes effectively. The characters are compelling, the plot is well-paced, and the overall experience is entertaining. If you're looking for a morally ambiguous, action-packed story with a touch of horror and a thought-provoking theme, I would recommend giving this novel a try. It's a perfectly average novel that does everything right.
