I really enjoyed this installment, especially since we got to see more of the not hoth world. I also liked to see what it was like from someone not part of the tribe.

Okay I loved Harlow. Rukh took some warming to but I got there. I am starting to lose interest in the whole pregnancy angle of things but I’m curious to see how Dixon keeps spicing things up in the future.

I liked this one less than the others, as the way that the characters first met was a little… rough, but they got there in the end

Ruby Dixon is not getting into heaven.

She refers to a newborn infant's genitals with the same descriptors and vocabulary as she does adult genitals during sex scenes.

Rukh mentions looking at his newborn son's 'cock' and seeing it also has a 'spur'

She makes circumcision jokes. She yet again has characters consider themselves failures for their bodies being unable to support a pregnancy. Also the offensive plot of soft human girl being taken by the 'savage barbarian' who she eventually makes civilized is... so awful.

It is not worth commenting on other aspects of the plot as the stuff above is reason enough to NEVER bother with this.

This was an interesting story line. It took me a bit to warm up to Ruhk, hut eventually I got to see what true sweetheart he was. It was interesting being away from the group for a good chunk, but it also felt right for this couple.

I enjoyed this book, it was a quick and easy read that drew you in. It definitely wasn’t my favorite out of the series, but I liked it! I think that it’s interesting how Rukh didn’t really know any language at all. I can’t imagine how hard/weird it might be to grow up and live completely alone your whole life, without interacting with anyone else or being around any sort of language. It makes me wonder, what is he thinking in? I know I think in English, and that fact was something I was very conscious of the whole time I was reading this. I have a voice in my head, as do most people, but can you have a voice in your head without a language? It’s very interesting to think about! I thought the story was cute, with mild spice. It’s so crazy to me how quickly these girls just give in to the men! It reminded me a lot of the first book, how Georgie just was like “oh he’s kinda cute guess this is my life now!” I much preferred Liz’s story since she was so stubborn about the whole situation, which is something that makes so much sense to me as I feel that’s how I would be in that situation. I liked how we got to see more of the planet’s geography and how we learn that it’s more than just snow & caves everywhere. I have no clue how nobody found Rukh before, I mean he was obviously very close to the “home base” of the tribe to find Harlow in the beginning. Anyways, I thought it was cool how we got to understand his reasoning & everything, and I feel so bad that poor Harlow thought she’d left those 3 dead for so long. I also liked the little ending we got, it was pretty cute & I’m satisfied!
