Pleasantly surprised by this read, perfect for lovers of Ice Planet Barbarians. Authors did not sacrifice world-building or plot for the romance, which was pretty sweet especially considering one of them was a “spider man.” This is the first of a series, so expect to be left on a lurch!

I was not expecting to like this as much as I did. Over the last year I have really started to read unapologetically. For the first 30-35% or so, I had the roughest time connecting to this book, I had to keep going back to the cover to envision Ketahn’s physicality and the worldbuilding was confusing for a bit. The writing was really well done, the descriptions were great. There is a bit of the standard hands exploring with dubious consent and some forcible mating. Not SA, but moreso “You are my mate now” type situation. Ivy’s journey through this book was an interesting interpretation of how someone would handle waking up on a new planet with a person-thing you can’t understand. Her acceptance of her attraction to Ketahn and her new life was delightful.
I didn’t love the cliffhanger ending, and I will read the next book and hold off judgment until I can see how it wraps up; trilogies aren’t usually my favorite things.
