Impossible Creatures

DNF because of animal pet death. Regrettably, I had gifted a copy of this book to a 10 year old before reading it. This is one trope that I, personally, simply cannot deal with. I love my animal family members too much. That aside, this was an absolutely wonderful read and I was really enjoying it (hence the lack of star rating). I loved the many and diverse, weird characters. I was fascinated by the lore and the way the flip sides of the world were built.
