I don’t love the trope of an abused character falling for the first person to ever be nice to them. There’s not a lot of world building but I get that I’ve come in the middle of a well established world. I’ve read 1.5 ice planet barbarian books so I have a vague idea of what is going on but I’m still a bit lost.  I know they’re stuck outside in the snow but he keeps cleaning himself and she…doesn’t

It's Beauty and the Beast on an Ice Planet, okay? Love a B&TB retelling!

This series is so fun. I enjoy these books so much. They are so laid back and fun and yes predictable  but it is so relaxing and fun

My God people were not kidding when they said how incessantly annoying Willa was. At the very least it gives us all something to agree on.

Not my favorite entry but there were some good moments. Blessurheart was really cute. I found Willa to be fairly frustrating as a heroine, though. I never fully bought into her resistance to going back and it didn't seem like there was enough forward momentum in the character development. There was also a bit of a negative vibe toward Veronica and Ashtur, and I love them so it mostly just made me more irritated at Willa.
