Wonderful premise that is never satisfactorily expanded on, and characters that aren’t a lot more than physical appearance and insert sexuality/gender identity. I wouldn’t be so mad about it if the book hadn’t lured me in with promises of fat, queer cowboys (cowpersons?) as well. Reads like an au on ao3 on account of the writing and utter lack of world-building.
