Claws by Mike Grinti
3.0
2.5 Stars
Claws was a very...interesting book. It's a book about Emma who has just moved into a trailer in a forest full of magical creatures because her sister, Helena has gone missing. While she is there, she meets a cat named Jack who helps her find her sister.
Honestly, the book never really caught my attention and I had doubts that I wouldn't like it. The beginning was very boring and...blah. I feel like the authors created a very poor fantasy landscape and never really described anything with much detail. The dialogue also felt very awkward a lot of the time, especially when Jack was speaking. I barely liked him at all.
However, characters like Toe-Chewer were ones that I enjoyed. Fat Leon's humor was also very clever. So it has cats, which I like, so I'll give it that!
Another thing is that almost everyone has very bland names. Ex; Emma, Jack, Chloe, Matt, etc. Couldn't the author had come up with better names than that?
Later on, there is more action that kind of held my attention, but other than that, the book wasn't very good. I'm not even sure who I'd recommend it to. It's more for cat people I guess? But it isn't hardcore fantasy.
