This is the type of alternative history I needed in my life! Cowboys with hippos?! Yes please! I absolutely loved the characters, the "caper," the world, the found family, etc. My one complaint was how I couldn't quite get a read on some of the friendships and bonds, but the two short stories at the end gave me what I needed! Now I need a third novella!
