Ice Planet Barbarians

the start was jarring like we're thrown smack into it with her getting abducted and we learn she's been taken for what's basically sex trafficking and then we're shown someone getting raped. ok. not really glossed over but just weird were tone-wise considering the rest of the book feels fluffy :/

she gets captured in a trap by our alien MMC and wakes up to him eating her out and she's like ok he's fucking shit up purrrr! and let's him continue. idk this was a weird read. like it was kinda sweet and definitely insta-love but sorta with a reason? like it's insta-love on his end because he knows she's essentially his soulmate and so he's just so trusting of that fact and throws himself headfirst. she's a bit more reserved but can see that he hasn't done anything to hurt her and is protective so she's like why not!

overall i'd give this a 2.5/5, it's like not at all a serious read, was short, and was cute enough to keep me going. maybe even 3 stars?
