The description in this novel is thorough and lovely. This book was amazing and I would definitely read it again, as well as read from this author again. I really liked the narrative style, it is something I would like to bring to my own writing.

Composite Creatures had me hooked from the beginning to the end. I don’t think I have ever finished a book this fast. When I wasn’t actively reading the book I was obsessing over imagining what might come next.

The book takes place in a time when the earth has been strained to the point of breaking including the contamination of the air and soil, and the absence of most animals. The main characters, Norah and Arthur, begin as strangers and we as readers get to know them as they get to know each other. At the heart of the novel is the struggle for survival and the varying lengths that Norah, Arthur and their friends will go to in order to improve their chances for survival. What I most enjoyed was that the book was cryptic with horror undertones which kept me at the edge of my seat anticipating and guessing what might be coming next.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I do have to say this book has an interesting storyline. I unfortunately wasn't too impressed with the writing style. I couldn't completely finish the book as I truly struggled to get through a lot of the chapters.

I requested this one to see if I was interested enough to request a review copy because I'm trying to only request books I'm very likely to give 4 or 5 stars. However, after reading the first several chapters I have determined that this book is not my tastes. It's actually quite a interesting story, but I have very particular tastes in SFF so I know I could only give this one an average review.
