I absolutely loved everything about this book! I have never in my life. Read a book that was this short, but had this level of world building and character development. Plus, I haven't laughed that hard in such a long time.

Overall the book was meh. I enjoyed the more survival focused bits of the book and the communication barrier between the humans and the aliens.

The sex scenes were...not my cup of tea. They were very...you know when you are making fun of bad heterosexual erotica and how to guy has a 20ft dick and the woman orgasms in 2 seconds? That's what it seemed to be.

Also, I'm assuming this is a fault of the platform I listened to the audiobook (spotify) and not the actual book, but content warnings were not read. Which meant that in the first chunk of the book, I was suddenly thrust into a r*pe scene of a background character by, for lack of a better term, prison guard. I was not prepared AT ALL for that and although it didn't go into much detail--it was still a jarring scene to listen to when doing my dishes!

don't judge me, i just wanted to see what the hype was about!

and it wasn't horrible. it was actually pretty entertaining. i applaud any author who treats their romance heroine like an actual person instead of a piece of meat (or just a piece of meat, i mean there is a lot of mating going on). is that a low standard? maybe, but just think of all the books out there that don't do this simple thing.

and here we have a gal who doesn't take any shit and survived horrific circumstances, whose love interest is like "i will listen to you and respect your opinion, also i literally just want to bring you pleasure in any way you will let me" so that was nice.

i am pleased the viral book with the blue aliens and d*ck spurs was a pretty decent read. not a bad way to spend a sunday. now if you'll excuse me i'm off to download book 2.

Edit: the sexual assault scene was removed from the paperback version of the book, it is mentioned but not described in any way
cw: sexual assault early in story (on page, not graphic, not mc), kidnapping, hero/heronie meeting contains dubcon, monster d*ck
