Reviews with content warning for Abortion - Ice Planet Barbarians

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)

I’ve heard people mention this book quite a bit, and honestly it does live up to the hype. I don’t know how I expected the book to start, but the beginning was shocking, interesting, and I appreciated how quickly you’re thrown into the action.

The romance is intense and as plentiful as you expect, and I did love seeing how the groups have integrated together.

Probably will pick up the rest of the series eventually!

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

I mean.... I was entertained. It's not for me. Maybe check it out if you're looking for a *fast-paced* romance between big strong possessive dumb (alien) man and strong-willed feeble (human) girl. I was actually into the world-building the very very few times the flora, fauna, or lore was described. That was a surprising plus.
I would have been a little bit more generous on the star rating if not for the violence in the first chapter. It was a lazy and borderline offensive way to raise the stakes in an otherwise unserious story.
