Reviews with content warning for Blood - Ice Planet Barbarians

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.

2.0

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!

adventurous funny

okay.....so..... I LIKED IT SUE ME. was it jaw dropping literature? of course not. BUT I had so much fucking fun. They were lowkey cute? It feels sinful to say.... Aliens are hot! I will admit the first part threw me for a loop like the whole

rape by the basketball head aliens really hurt my head and was so disturbing. and the fact that consent doesn't seem to be a thing with the ice planet aliens... their meet cute would be on alien SVU

Vektal and Georgie were an interesting experience, I had fun I’ll admit it!! The intentional jokes didn’t work for me but the overall plot and everything was a comedy routine in itself. I really thought I’d hate it….. I’ve added the series to my ever extending tbr. I can’t believe a book exists with the phrase “alien nookie”. The more ya know?

Update:
After finishing this at like 1am, I had some really weird dreams. It feels related lmfao.
