- It is only 188 pages long.
Onward to the absolute shit..
- The plot was trying its best to hang in there, but Swiss cheese can’t survive at such cold temperatures without shattering.
- The fact that the survivor of a horrific and graphic sexual assault is found dead in the snow and it is frammed as a good outcome is wild to me. 🫨
- The way this novel talks about fertility is triggering. Basically claiming that beyond their ability to procreate the women hold little use or value in this society. Or even to aliens at large since the ones on the ships at the beginning seemed to have the same plan for their cargo.
I spent the vast majority of this entire experience cringing. Who am I kidding I am still cringing..
I can see why someone out there may enjoy this. However, I now know that monster/alien breeding smut just isn’t for me. 🤷🏼♀️

but holy shit. i had such a fun time.
anyone reviewing this like it’s meant to be incredibly serious mind-blowing sci-fi literature is missing the point.
this is just a silly goofy time.
bonus points for endless star wars references. it’s what george would want.
