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)

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!

I wanted something a little wild and ig i kinda got it. Fanfic vibes throughout. Left me wanting more. Also i didnt realize georgie was a girl until like 2% in lol.
