Earthlings: The Beginning by Ray Star

5.0

Can you imagine a world where the animals rule the world? Eating and using humans? This is the world of Earthlings, a dystopian world where anything is possible but only a human/animal alliance can change it. Ready?
I’ll start saying that this is the first book of a series (trilogy?), so, it has a cliffhanger at the end, of course! But believe me, even knowing this I couldn’t resist to dig in and discover the amazing world the author, Ray Star, has created.
In this story we have two human main characters and multiple animals to accompany them, Peri and Euan. They will not share much adventures in this first book, they will show us how they meet and how Peri’s world will change after meeting him. Because, the world has changed, but Peri is isolated in a remote island and nothing from the outside can enter, so she thinks the world is like we know… normally in a weird way. So, discovering magic, talking animals and cruelty will become something that will mark her forever.
I really don’t want to spoil much of the plot, just believe me, even if I am not vegan it makes me think about how we really treat the animals we share the space in this world. We are really cruel, don’t you think? Maybe with this book, asidee from giving the reader an amazing story to enjoy, it will make us change how to make the animal’s life easier and change a little bit about how we treat them.
I really can’t wait to read the second volume of this series, I loved it!
Are you ready to discover the “Earthlings”?
