Booktok bought me here and I'm honestly so torn because it was so bad but I was so into it. My brain can't process it.

Okay, you know what? This wasn't that bad. It's an interesting setting with interesting characters. Could've gone through another round or two of editing, but beyond that... not bad. I found the aliens to be quite interesting, as well as the ice planet. I don't think I'll be reading the other books in the series, though. I like a somewhat deeper setting and characters.

I’m not the right audience for this, but I wanted to give it a shot… ugh. It actually had decent plotting when it tried, but this wasn’t my speed. 

I also found the way the MC kept referring to the aliens as barbarians slightly irritating. They’re not, they’re just different to her than humans…

More than a little disappointed in this book because although it's kinky and silly and has characters who genuinely care about each other, it's really tone deaf to context and content. It's a dumpster fire for lack of consent, so as much as individual circumstances are cute or sexy, viewed in context they're... uncomfortable.

It is honestly what you expect it to be. I would advise you to not start the book expecting top-tier content, but be prepared to be surprised. The writing is actually quite good and while some parts are defiantly a bit corny, I can say I quite enjoyed the book.

Please be aware that there are very dark, adult themes. While the premise of the book is the usual Alien/Human trope -- Readers should be aware that there are themes of Sexual assault, Torture, Emotional & Physical Abuse among other things. Please look at Content Warnings before reading.
