About this listen

Amygdala is a story of animals, born to a world of swirling, fractal chaos, who learned the art of civilization. Their government was forged in fire, ruled only by the objective truth of all things, with no room for incompetence, mercy, or even morality. Their city, 'The Underbirth', holds within it the greatest collection of animal minds, born of mechanical systems designed to test everything: natural, cultural, industrial selection. Their art is beguiling, their science boundless, their bodies strong and lean and perfect.

And yet, amidst the beauty of a culture ruled by absolute competence, some begin to ask: what is the cost of civilization? When do animals stop being animals? Is there another way?

The characters designs, and the interesting plot.

I'm a sucker for a good story about differing approaches to life, philosophy, and politics.

Absolute cinema

The depiction of the political sides having proper discourse and backing ,and the intricate actions of the characters intertwining with each other, "You believe ruin is wrought by ruinous individuals, ah, but what were they before, little, like you and me Lacemaker. You believe your motion will not stir the water? Everyone believes that and here we are drowning in waves."- Sally Sefton

best book I've ever read

I will not deny that the reading and even writing of the beginning of the book is a little rough around the edges but I am so enthralled by this book. the writing get smoother, the ideas weaving together, the detail ripe scenes, reading this book is reading amazing story ideas explode with creativity! it is hard to write a book, especially with so many factors, but seeing the passion that is put into this book really makes it bloom. I cannot wait for more!

A Grand Experience

I had started reading this book myself and was enjoying it thoroughly but admittedly no matter how much I read. A bit frustrated I ended up also purchasing this audio book and boy was that th best double purchase of something I've ever done. From the voice acting to the orchestration, the pacing to the tone it was such an enthralling experience. I could not recommend this in audiobook enough for I enjoyed every second, minute and several hours of it.

Loved it to much I bought it three times.

This is by far in a way my favorite piece of fiction I've ever read (and listened to, as the audiobook is also exceptional.) With a huge cast of characters, all of which who are incredibly distinct and individual, and a thrilling and dramatic story, it really checks all my boxes. So much has been dutifully set up for the next book in the series, and I can hardly wait for the next installment. If you like cool original characters and layered stories involving themes of life, death, love, and the inevitability of struggle as is the nature of being alive, you will love this book. The themes are handled with great skill and care. Sam Fennah is an incredible writer, with vivid and mindbending descriptions of the incredible world in which these animals live. With the extracurricular value of the animations on his YouTube channel which illustrate the characters and their world, it's one of the most vibrant fantasy worlds I've ever experienced. This book will live rent free in my mind forever.
