Yes, you want to read this :) The revenge is sharp, cold and epic. The writing is tasty, evocative, and good. The fast pace and great characterizations sweep you up into the story. There is a lot here for how short it is. It's a great little book.

It's a wild-west revenge story possessing a darker tone than you would normally expect, since it features anthropomorphic animals. I liked it well enough, as it's fast-paced and the characters are diverse and interesting enough, for a novella. However, the introduction of all of them took roughly 1/3 of the book and the single-page chapters often felt somewhat jarring. Overall it's a fun, quick read that prioritizes style over substance, which might be a pro/con depending on your preference.

I really enjoyed this. I don’t really know why, but I did. Maybe it’s because the book was so well written it appealed to all the senses. Maybe it’s because the story smelt like gunpowder, felt like cool rifle steel and hot blood, looked like a cold grin and dead eyes, tasted like desperation and sounded like the crack of a shotgun.
All of these sense wrapped into one book with the cover of a simple, easy knowledge on how to kill and being okay with it.
Or maybe I’m just reading too much into it. Who knows? I don’t have the skill of accuracy like Boudica does.
