I started reading Ruby Dixon's Ice Planet Barbarian series this summer, and I enjoy picking one up about once a month for a lighthearted romantic, adventure journey onto a cold, not-capitalist world, where the khui living in the alien and human bodies keep them alive and cure them of all ailments from earth - cancer, infertility, etc. I think Dixon does a good job making these books oddly relatable, though it's a very different world, and very steamy and fun. I am hooked - will continue the series. This story was Harlow and Rukh. Harlow had a brain tumor on earth and is finding her way on Not Hoth, and Rukh raised himself alone in the wilderness. Fun times, enjoyed, will continue reading :)

Another abduction trope... in which the abductor is completely clueless, and very "cave-man"-esque. Personally, I didn't enjoy this dynamic as much as Liz and Rahoosh even though I found Rukh and Harlow really interesting individually.

The dynamic between these two characters was less Tarzan and Jane, and more parent and child. Harlow has to teach Rukh about the birds and the aliens, how to communicate, bathe, etc.

As individual characters I do enjoy the journey that Harlow undergoes

in regards to her terminal illness, and how it creeps up again when she becomes pregnant. And I like that Rukh goes from being a lone-wolf to finding his family (Rahoosh), understanding the mistakes of his father, and understanding the importance of community as a whole.

Like the other books in this serious, this is a fun romp. The concept of consent in this world is still incredibly complicated, but I like that Dixon looks at the dark sides of "resonance." Harlow and Rukh are fun protagonists, and I liked the importance of family ties in this book.

A fine installment, but I think there was a lot of potential in this premise, and I was hoping for a little more out of it and didn't get it. (Yes, I know this is IPB.) Just didn't enjoy it as much as the first three, but that certainly won't stop me from continuing!
