Finished Wasteland Economics, on recommendation from old /FoE/. It was...okay.
The setting is really neat, deep south Equestria with cajun ponies and creole gators. But Alloy was hard to like as a character. She's too spergy and antisocial, at least in the beginning. That thing with her and Copper was so contrived.
Also once again we have a cute, sympathetic villain who does NOTHING WRONG but who I am supposed to dislike for some reason!
