Now, there are two ways to look at this series. One is as a science fiction story, to which I will say it’s quite good. The science isn’t perfect, but it does a good job of selling you on the story, setting, and dangers, building and paying off suspense, and letting the tension plateau and settle with a good mix of lower-stakes character writing scenes. I find Rick Griffin’s writing in general to have good character writing and great pacing. The main downside would be that it’s a furry book with a fair few sexual elements, that may not appeal to a broader audience.
The other way to look at this series is *as* a furry book series, in which case it’s absolutely superb. I have been looking so long for fundamentally furry book series (as opposed to just one or two characters) that actually have an engaging plot to speak of, and they are depressingly rare. The vast majority seem to have questionable writing, mediocre plots, flat characters, and so on. But this one delivers on every mark, and as noted above it’s a strikingly competent book series even by the standards of more saturated, mainstream markets.
