Taste of Marrow

In part two of the American Hippo books the separated group has to finish what they started last time. Funny, queer and action packed!

3.75* This was a short little novella that I listened to within a few hours. I don't have much to say about it. It's the sequel to River of Teeth, together they make up to American Hippo duology. I still loved all our characters and would literally die for Hero. The plot was as convoluted as in the first book, but I didn't really mind, as I'm here for the amazing narrator (Peter Berkrot), the lovely banter and all the queerness. I liked this a little less for the single reason that for the most part of the story, our characters are split into two groups of two (or three if you count the newborn baby) and don't even know wether the others are still alive. I didn't really need this and especially the stress of Houndstooth and Hero being seperated really stressed me out. It was still fun and I recommend it if you want a bizarre little adventure with hippos and loads of queer rep, that makes you laugh.
