The Thot’s Plot:

So I want you to picture Ice Planet Barbarians meets Bug’s Life. Like picture the grasshoppers kidnapping you except it’s not kidnappers it’s praying mantises. So picture this - the praying mantises (manti?) abduct you and bring you into their spaceship (the praying manti have a spaceship) and they wanna experiment on you. I’m talking season 2 of American Horror Story alien subplot shit okay? So anyways they’re like kidnapping you and a bunch of women (why don’t they take the men from the planet, we have soo many to spare) for their experimentification then BAM you and your girlies end up on a cold planet with furry large men to save you and impregnate you and fill you with love (and cum). Sounds just like another story you know right??? Well this was better than that one. I said what I said.

The Thot’s Thoughts:

This book jumps RIGHT INTO IT. Like legit the first page starts the action like complete raw dogging the climax without any buildup. And I’m okay with it. We know why I’m reading this book and it’s not for the world building (which weirdly highly resembles Ice Planet Barbarians). The chemistry between the main characters was delicious and I just ate up their scenes together even when they didn’t speak the same language. Like my man respected the FMC’s bodily autonomy and earned her respect the CORRECT WAY.

This book is legit a more diverse and non-toxic male (besides the bad guys) version of Ice Planet Barbarians. I liked the characters and the plot and the love interest sooo much more than IPB. Like my man was essentially The Beast from Beauty and the Beast with the personality of Jamie Fraiser like he was patient and sweet and just respected tf out of the FMC. Also, the FMC was so likable and felt like a real person and just was strong-willed. This book is just so fun and silly but also touches on things like taking care of yourself and respecting those different from you. The diversity in body types, ethnicities, and races was just so amazing, as well. I just highly suggest it cause it was a great time AND I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE REST OF THE SERIES!!
