There's a graphic rape scene in the beginning, but there's an additional sexual assault

when the MCs first meet — there's no consent, and

that's not TRULY addressed in these pages at all. It's mentioned again later... But there are no emotions about it. Even later,

there are mentions of Georgie wanting to make sure the other girls' "no"s will be respected if they say no. Vektal can't imagine that ever not happening... But, again, he didn't get a yes when he first "meets" Georgie. So.

Also want to speak to ableism tag above directly because I'm not seeing it in other reviews: someone "deformed" shouldn't feel any more "lucky" to be desired sexually than any one else.

Most of the spoilers I've mentioned happen in the first 20% of the story. The rest of the story is relatively content warning free.

Big blue dude essentially says “Hi, you’re my mate!” by putting his mouth on the FMC's 😼. I don’t have an issue with his greeting. I have an issue with the fact that she’s not really conscious and consenting. She could have been…boo.
 
40%…it’s not been a day. This book is moving fast.
 
Over all; this isn’t the worst thing I’ve ever read, I may even give the second book a go. But I can’t help but feel that the popularity of this book is mainly driven by people new to spicy books. I can’t help but feel like the novelty of spice and alien peen is the primary reason people are enamoured by this book.

The first book in the Ice Planet Barbarians series by Ruby Dixon explores what happens when a group of women are abducted from Earth and then abandoned on an icy planet.

In this first tale we meet Georgie, a 22-year-old who went to sleep in her own bed and wakes up in a spaceship surrounded by other 22-year-old females, in good health, who are not pregnant and have no family close by.  She learns that one woman in the group was given a hearing device to understand what their captors are saying.  After some traumatizing experiences and revelations, they are left to fend for themselves on a strange planet, one they initially hope is Earth but very quickly find out it is not. Georgie, being unwittingly named the leader, strikes out in search of supplies, or help. She encounters a barbarian of the icy planet they have landed on, and after a unique greeting and some awkward attempts at interspecies communication she convinces him to take her to the other women.  Their tale is spicy, entertaining, and (surprisingly to me) kept me wanting to know "what's going to happen next"? 

I am totally invested in what happens to these women and I'm looking forward to the next book in the tale.

I reluctantly tried this because it was on audible plus and I knew it was popular on BookTok. Why not? I feel like I went down the Sci-Fi version of Alice’s rabbit hole. I’m my mad about it either 😏🤪
