Humor abounded all through the book which I appreciate even when things are at their worst, humor does creep in. Tyro was a little mysterious and hard to understand but I felt better about him towards the end. And the whole thing of a cat giving the finger was hilarious (even though it did get a little old). I really enjoyed this character as a whole. The main character is a flying cat, who doesn’t have a name until her godfriend gives her one, which I thought was a very interesting concept. Tyro and a cat set out to get homunculi rights, even at the expensive of their lives…or at least some of the cat’s nine lives. The homunculi are in trouble because no one wants to give them any rights because they don’t have godfriends, or a soul. This book is very hard to describe, but I am certainly willing to give it a try! Most folklores and mythologies are real in this fantastical tale set in a world where everyone has a godfriend, someone who is a real god. I received a copy of Homunculus & the Cat from the publisher and in exchange for an honest review. Homunculus & the Cat is the first book in the Omnitheon cycle. Cat lovers will enjoy the ennedi kitten and her curious ways, as well as the important role she plays in the story. Homunculus & the Cat is an engrossing adventure that will interest fantasy fans looking for something out of the ordinary.
What seems to start as a battle for rights, evolves into a battle between gods and men for control of the various underworlds.Īs the cat is told by her goddess early on, following Tyro will definitely not be boring. The homunculi are beset on all sides, by unscrupulous politicians, Japanese gangsters, shikome from the Japanese underworld and more. The quest to rescue a homunculi friend, Herakles, brings Tyro into contact with the kitten, an ennedi (an Egyptian winged cat). Tyro is a jack-of-all-trades who is helping the homunculi rights campaign and working with the homunculi sanctuary in Atlantis.
Because they do not have a patron God and because they are artificial, they are seen as lesser creatures. Amongst these beings are the homunculi, artificial beings created by alchemists. Gods and goddesses exist, as do mythical creatures and magic. This is a world where every culture's mythology is real. Her curiosity and impulsiveness draw her into a magnificent adventure. And then, there is the Cat, an amazing creature that is heroic while being true to her feline nature. Despite, or perhaps because of this, it is an exceptional novel that is entertaining and thought-provoking. Homunculus & the Cat is a fantasy novel that defies description. Rarely have I encountered a book that is both highly unique and exceptionally written.
