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 😏🤪

Solidly a middling book for me — while the sex scenes are largely enjoyable, the plot itself suffers from a lack of growth in some of its characters, and a heavy hand with "Buffyspeak" that was a bit hard to ignore until it dropped in frequency later in the book.

I can see how this would be a more fun read for others than myself, but it read quite similar to a sex pollen AU fanfic in some respects, and that's not always my cup of tea! A quick read, though, so nice to get through a small reading slump.

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. It's the perfect blend of plot, spice, and the adorable-ness that is Vektal. I was swept into the world from the very beginning and I literally cannot wait until I start the next book. (03/2024)

4 out of 5 stars

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!
