3.0

The Galactic Zookeeper’s Guide to Heists and Husbandry was such an original sci-fi read. Like any good sci-fi book, this one had so many interesting and super detailed original animals. Who doesn’t like the sound of a super dumb, double-headed llama whose arteries are a cure for impotence?!

There were so many things to love about this book. It was fast-paced, very original and pulled you in. The deeper plot was wonderful. The one reason, and it is a pretty big reason, that this book is not rated higher for me is because Saffron is the absolute worst human being ever! She is just awful. Almost all of the other reviews I have read of this have the same issues with her that I do, so I will not be redundant. All I will say is that this could have been a 5-star read, if Saffron was even a tad more decent – you read that right, I am just asking for decent, not good.

Overall, I am happy that I read this for the world, other shipmates and animals. I will definitely be reading more by this author, but am hopeful that the MC won’t be such an utter trash of a human.
