remescient's review against another edition

MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING: Within the first three chapters, a side character is brutally r**ped while imprisoned, and the main character is s*xually assaulted by her future love interest while she is unconscious. Not a single video review I had seen even remotely mentioned this. I was not prepared and it really messed me up. I simply could not finish.

I think the teachers who taught me how to read as a child would be disappointed in the things I choose to read as an adult. Let them be disappointed. 3/5

Not as bad as I was expecting. I mostly read this as a random palate cleanser from reading a really intense series, and I needed something I wouldn't have to get too invested in. This was a good 3 star read, just average at best but not mindblowingly the best thing I've ever read. I enjoyed it for what it was.

In the beginning with the abduction of the girls and then the rape of one of them, I very nearly stopped reading because I wasn't sure I wanted to deal with that type of story. Thankfully it didn't continue, and by the time everyone crash landed on the ice planet, it turned more into a survival story with a bit of smut included. I think I mostly stayed bc the aliens in this story weren't horrible.

There were some points of convenience, but it got the story through what it was meant to be. So yknow, good enough. I knew what I was signing up for.

Solid 3/5, just average and a good thoughtless time

I finished this book on kindle unlimited and subsequently bought the rest of the series including this one right after. Take that information and do what you will with it. 

Also, please find me a man (or alien) who treats me like Vektal treats Georgie cause sis SAME, I would take that glowing tapeworm for him as well. 

Please be mindful of the trigger warnings in the beginning of the book. It goes from really dark to sunshine but please protect your mental health first.
