I love books written from non human points of view, and ST the crow is a delightful and hilarious narrator. The book is darkly funny, set in a post apocalyptic world with zombie humans and only the non human animals left in the world. Pets like ST are now on their own to survive and must band together to save each other and, they hope somehow, the humans. Most of the fun of the book is from ST's sarcastic voice, and the clever dramatic irony of you the reader understanding what happened to the humans by piecing it together from animal perceptions. Weird and weirdly hopeful, I'd suggest it when you're not in the midst of a pandemic lockdown period.
