Two novellas and a few short stories set in an alternate U.S.
I love the ingenuity of this world if the whole "hippo ranching" had come to pass. It's true, go google it.

Great to see all the old characters back! Including my favourite pair... Randy and Lily. Oh how i have missed the Chicago team. Look forward to reading the other short stories in this Series. It didn’t disappoint, still had the humour but lacked the erotic tones.

I’m not a huge fan of short stories: I like to really get into the characters lives and the anticipation and the crescendo of a novel. Short stories, to me, feel like I’m thrown into a story, see a snippet of it, and am then jerked out. But one thing that really helped this collection not feel like that was how all the stories were about the same thing. Not the same plot, not the same people… but the same concept. A machine that tells you how you will die, and is absolutely never wrong? That’s a sticky situation. And each person had to figure out how to deal with it and it revealed a lot of humanity.

I was very pleased with this collection as a whole. I didn’t read the first one, and I don’t think you’d need to in order to enjoy it. I definitely liked some stories and some writers better than other, but all in all, it was very satisfying.

I received a read and review copy from Netgalley for my full honest opinion.

Overall, this was a great read. Some parts were completely terrible while others were absolutely fantastic. I would only reread parts of this novel as certain stories are better than the others but all in all, it’s a 4 star read.
