River of Teeth

This was so. Much. FUN XD! Like, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when I picked it up; all I knew was that there was quite a bit of hype about it and that it was alternate history and involved hippos. I am so, SO glad I got a diverse cast (in both race and gender and sexuality!), kickass ladies (Adelia is #goals), a rip-roaring plot - and ADORABLE HIPPOS WITH AS MUCH PERSONALITY AS THE PEOPLE IN THE STORY OMG! Are there plushies? Because I want plushies. Especially of Ruby.

Anyway! Definitely pick this up everyone. It's a quick read (novella whoo~!) but there's a lot of fun packed in that short span of time. Also, the sequel's coming out in just a few more months, and I'm very much looking forward to that XD.
