Looking for an interesting series, where the books are written from animals point of view. Kind of like Orwell’s Animal Farm, but more fantasy / sci-fi / action.

We may follow a group of fighting turtle, or a rat’s journey to home after getting lost, things like that. If taking example from movies, Ant Z is an example.

Any recommendations?

    Others have recommend really good ones like Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time. In that same vein I can recommend A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge and the followup books. Just like Tchaikovsky’s works they are part human POV and part alien POV where the aliens are very animal-like. It’s not really the same as what you may be looking for though, as the species are all very intelligent, just different and with characteristics that are very reminiscent of earth animals such as dogs and spiders.

      Yeah, I wasn’t looking specifically for dumb animals. Anthropomorphized, super-powered, scientifically mutated, anything, as long as it’s from their point of view, at least for majority of the writing.

      Will look up A Fire Upon the Deep. Thanks for the recommendation!
