3.5 ⭐ Had it not been for the random old lady who come in to cause a dumb conflict for two pages, this would have been a 4 ⭐. The setup was so fun and cute, I liked the characters, and it is well written. Then a crazy old lady comes and goes out of a bathroom while yelling about dumb shit and we have a last second and clunky conflict that really knocks you out of the enjoyment of the book because it is so random.

At 16, Princess Halla saves a young hostage. Years later, King Mathior comes to claim her. L I S T E N, an older woman won over by a warrior king who absolutely adores her? YES!
Reread 5/15/22: still a fun time! Mathior is completely GONE for Halla.
Reread 6/7/23: audiobook this time!

I thought “hey, before jumping into Ice Planet Barbarians, let’s give Ruby Dixon a try by reading her novella”.
I will not be reading Ice Planet Barbarians.

Perfectly cute read in the Aspect and Anchor universe. I enjoyed the Cyclopae wedding traditions included, as they provided some flavor to an otherwise unremarkable story. I wish there had been more meat to Halla's conflict in marrying the son of her father's killer, and more explanation of the war/conquest in general.
