Title: Read so much it's falling apart
Review: I've had this book since I was a kid, and it never gets old. The mythology and the language are beautiful and thoroughly developed; instead of different nations of people we have different species providing contrasting cultures and rich worldbuilding. The book begins lightheartedly, if a bit more lyrical than you'd expect from a book with housecats on its cover. But then the story gradually travels, quest-like, into the heart of darkness. Every detail of creatures both strange and familiar is richly imagined, lending even the familiar ones a strange air.The animal perspective invites comparisons to Watership Down and the Redwall series, but a more apt comparison is Lord of the Rings. Sweeping and poetic, it's an epic which captures the mind as surely as Middle-earth ever did.
