Darth Richard II Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Oh, CJ Cherryh has some SFF series with cat people, or something. Never read them, but I remember the covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Shadows of the apt by Adrian Tchaikovsky sort of fits as it features people with insect attribute and I swear it took me until half way through the series not to continuslly think of the characters as been anthropomorphic versions of which ever insect they shared kinship with. In fairness many do have physical attributes of the insects. The redwall books are a classic example of anthropomorphic characters. Although the series is heavily skewed to younger audiences. There's a comic called mouse Templar which is very similar to redwall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosi Mynn Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 I did enjoy the Redwall books a lot - especially the first three. But the poor ferrets, rats, weasels etc always being the bad guys! Quote Also, there's Pierre Boulle's Planet of the Apes, heh? The ultimate in anthropomorphic literature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never tell whether there was a drop in quality by "Martin the warrior" or I just outgrew the series. Loved the first three and the one about the albino badger "salamandastron" The secret of NIMH was good too but I think that's more animals ,than animals with human like attributes. Although I guess that's virtually always the case if writing about animals as if they could talk etc (even if they don't speak a human language).

Isis Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Surely The Wind in the Willows is the archetypal example here. (Portly <3) Although I still think Watership Down is the pinnacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theda Baratheon Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 One of my favourite books is Sirius by Olaf Stapledon but that's not exactly new LOL being written in 1944, but it's truly wonderful and has a ''talking dog'' as the protagonist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theda Baratheon Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 doesn't David Brin's Uplift trilogy have super intelligent dolphins and chimps in? It's been years and I only ever read the first book and a bit of the second so I admittedly don't remember much lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Sundiver the first book. I remember that. I read it a few times actually when I was younger. I read a lot of the books of my dads that I found lying around. I think I started the second book and for some reason never finished it. I'll read the series properly at some point lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjm Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Chris Wooding's Tales of the Ketty Jay has some chapters told from the POV of the ship's cat.
