Reviews with content warning for Abortion - Ice Planet Barbarians

not only was this just the author projecting her monsterfucker fantasy onto these characters, but it contained a very stereotypical kidnapping by green aliens, quite a bit of sexual assault and borderline cnc, falling for each other in less than three days, unintentionally baby trapping(?), a really cheap cop out of a language barrier, entirely too many star wars references, a variety of phrases i did not want to read, and mediocre smut. also his skin feels like suede ?? i have not been able to move past that.

also, the epilogue felt weirdly out of character. miss maam barely cared about the girls when they initially died and suddenly she has survivors guilt ?? would’ve been a better plot point had it been in the actual book.

unfortunately, i will be reading the rest of them.

A friend of mine has been a fan of this series for years and I finally decided to give it a try. I was surprised how much fun this book was to read! The mixture of fluff, smut, adventure, and humor is a slam dunk. After spending the past month in the trenches of reading dark romances, it’s so refreshing that the lead couple actually likes each other.

I’m not normally a fan of science fiction (particularly because the intense world building can be so overwhelming when starting a new series), but the gradual build up of the story makes this novel’s setting an easy one to explore and get lost in.

TL;DR: Loved it and downloading book 2 as I type

This was a fun, weird, easy read. I got through it in one day. Not sure I’ll ever read it again, haha, but it kept me entertained while I’m laid up with an injury. The romance was quite a bit heavier on the sexy side than the romantic side, which isn’t necessarily my preference, so take that as you will. Be forewarned that there are some elements of non-consensual intimacy in this book, and even a (non-descriptive) r*pe (not between any main characters). The main character’s first interaction with her love interest is him giving her or*l as she wakes up from being unconscious. However, it is framed as a very sexy interaction, and the heroine enjoys it. Again, take that as you will. The story is so ridiculous in every way, that I decided not to take it too seriously, and I had a generally good time with it. Overall, based on my usual rating criteria, I gave this book 2.75 ⭐️. However, because I enjoyed the book, I bumped it up to 3 ⭐️, because I never give books I enjoy under 3⭐️.
Tldr: Liked it, didn’t love it. It’s fun and silly—but check TWs!!!
