This was a fine background listen, but I either needed it to be a deeper, more extended romance plot or more graphic smut... like, I just needed one of them to be more in depth than either were.

The plot was actually interesting enough, it was just a very fast relationship development and felt like only the intro to a story, not a whole book's worth of a story. 

I dunno, it was all fine I just wanted more intensity.

TW:
rape
,
non-con/dub-con
,
kidnapping, bodily fluids, blood (from animal butchering)

Honestly there was FAR too much sexual violence for my taste- even within the first 40 pages

Really exceeded my expectations. I borrowed it from the library out of curiosity and I thought it was going to be really bad / goofy / cringe-y.

There's an actual plot in addition to all the sex scenes and I thought it was really well written for this type of book. It was funny and felt grounded in the world building. The SciFi elements were well done. The tension and stakes were good as well. Also the audiobook acting was really good!

Fyi when I rate books I only take points away when something bothered me about the book/ I think it should've done something differently/ there was something about it I didn't enjoy. So in my opinion this is a 5/5 because I didn't have any notes for doing any of it differently and I enjoyed reading it. 

Trigger warning
there's one short disturbing, rape scene at the beginning  rape  by "bad aliens" not the titular ice planet barbarians.

No era para mi este libro y por eso mi baja puntuación...
Es corto y lo acabé antes de darme cuenta, pero a la vez fue un DNF porque no leí las historias extras. De hecho iba a abandonar el libro al acabar el capítulo. Es como si hubiera ido a cortar con alguien y esa persona cortase antes conmigo.

He de decir que me reí bastante y que en general me parece una narración cargada de humor, pero a lo mejor solo lo estoy viendo yo...Pero es que había ciertas cosas que tenían que ser escritas para hacer gracia, a mi no me engañan:

"No era un monstruo que iba a comerme. Era este monstruo.
Que me lo ha comido."

Soy una persona diferente tras haber leído esas líneas. Me he quedado marcada de por vida y posiblemente haya muerto de risa y esté en el infierno (porque me lo merezco, no por otra cosa).
