No era para mi este libro y por eso mi baja puntuación...
Es corto y lo acabé antes de darme cuenta, pero a la vez fue un DNF porque no leí las historias extras. De hecho iba a abandonar el libro al acabar el capítulo. Es como si hubiera ido a cortar con alguien y esa persona cortase antes conmigo.

He de decir que me reí bastante y que en general me parece una narración cargada de humor, pero a lo mejor solo lo estoy viendo yo...Pero es que había ciertas cosas que tenían que ser escritas para hacer gracia, a mi no me engañan:

"No era un monstruo que iba a comerme. Era este monstruo.
Que me lo ha comido."

Soy una persona diferente tras haber leído esas líneas. Me he quedado marcada de por vida y posiblemente haya muerto de risa y esté en el infierno (porque me lo merezco, no por otra cosa).

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.

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

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.

I reluctantly tried this because it was on audible plus and I knew it was popular on BookTok. Why not? I feel like I went down the Sci-Fi version of Alice’s rabbit hole. I’m my mad about it either 😏🤪
