bree_h_reads's review against another edition

You know I really wanted to give it a fair shot but I couldn’t really get through the on page r@pe scene 20 minutes into the audiobook. I’m sure this is a book that can definitely work for some people! Especially if that’s something they can stomach or are able to skim over to get further into the book. It’s just not for me.

2.25

The storyline and women on the ship saved this book, but I never want to read about this world ever again. The fact that there are 19+ of these books cracks me up. I need to read reviews ASAP!!

charli03's review

The content warnings were not sufficient for the first part of this book. Everyone has their own kinks but this is not how I want my smut to start.

CW for the first 40 pages: drugged, rape, abduction, excrement, violence, murder, blood, injury, trafficking, death, confinement

Most of the spoilers I've mentioned happen in the first 20% of the story. The rest of the story is relatively content warning free.

The first book in the Ice Planet Barbarians series by Ruby Dixon explores what happens when a group of women are abducted from Earth and then abandoned on an icy planet.

In this first tale we meet Georgie, a 22-year-old who went to sleep in her own bed and wakes up in a spaceship surrounded by other 22-year-old females, in good health, who are not pregnant and have no family close by.  She learns that one woman in the group was given a hearing device to understand what their captors are saying.  After some traumatizing experiences and revelations, they are left to fend for themselves on a strange planet, one they initially hope is Earth but very quickly find out it is not. Georgie, being unwittingly named the leader, strikes out in search of supplies, or help. She encounters a barbarian of the icy planet they have landed on, and after a unique greeting and some awkward attempts at interspecies communication she convinces him to take her to the other women.  Their tale is spicy, entertaining, and (surprisingly to me) kept me wanting to know "what's going to happen next"? 

I am totally invested in what happens to these women and I'm looking forward to the next book in the tale.
