Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon
3.0
This one was pretty weird… but kinda great at the same time ? I feel like the story had so much amazing potentiel, but it felt rushed 60% out of the book… I mean, if the book was twice as long, it would have made more sense to me.
Be careful, spoilers underneath !
Here are some of the things that bothered me :
First of all, the beginning was so great ? With the kidnapping, all the girls stuck with each other and how they coped with it. But the fact that one of them had a device (the translate ear thingy) to understand them was pretty weird… I mean, the aliens seemed so much more evolved than humans, it felt weird that only one had that device but, like many things in this book, it really helped the storyline. But I would have appreciated something more subtil i guess.. Same with the mother ship in the cave. Ok,it helped Georgie speak the same language as Vektal but it kinda eases all the problems in the book ? Now she can speak and understand but i don’t know, it felt really simple for this pretty complex story.
And let’s not talk about Vaktal’s greeting, ok ? ok.
Don’t get me wrong, I think I will totally read the second one, because it really intrigued me !
