Further along in the Ice Planet Barbarians’ universe and have to say: Lilah and Rokan, Kira and Aehako, Georgie and Vektal are still the worse of the group. I know Lilah and Rokan as well as Kira and Aehako have massive followings but damn- they have the least amount of chemistry of all the couples so far.
It was like reading the back of a cake box that only uses water to spice it up…
I loved Bek and Elly. (The Barbarian’s Redemption) That story was so well written and broke my heart more than once. Elly was such a brilliant character and how she showed Bek what it was like being a slave? Just really hit hard.
Kate and Harrec (The Barbarian’s Lady)- Kate was so sweet and I loved how she found a kindred spirit in Liz (who, let’s face it, is one of my favorite characters). Harrec has always been one of my favorite aliens. I found him adorable in Stacy and Pashov’s book and was really looking forward to his- it didn’t disappoint. His dislike of seeing his own blood and how Kate helped him overcome it made me grin. And I can’t forget the cute little baby snowcat they adopted- my cat loving heart burst at that. I hope we see more of Mr Fluffypuff as the series goes on.
Summer and Warrec (Barbarians Rescue)- well it was fine. Summer started out as really entertaining with her verbal vomit, but toward the mid-point of the book… I was over her. Warrec seemed so much more put together than her and it felt a little forced toward the end. I think they are cute together- but do I think they are one of the best couples… no. I think I rated this book a 3/5 stars because it was decent- just not my favorite.
Lauren and K’thar (Lauren’s Barbarian)- again they were okay. Lauren started to grate on my nerves and the whole- “it’s the end of the world so let’s have repeated sex” trope was played out in this book. I will say Lauren is intelligent and K’thar is sweet. I liked them but I don’t think they rank in my top 15 or even close to it. They were merely alright.
Veronica and Ashtar (Veronica’s Dragon)- I loved this book. I loved how adorably clumsy Veronica was and how fierce Ashtar was. I loved how he knew right away she was meant for him. I loved the friendship with the other aliens he gained at the end. I loved the sweet heat that was between him and Veronica. It was good! Really good! They definitely entered my top ten couples for this universe.
Just started Willa’s Beast… can’t wait to see how I like it. I’ve seen many mixed reviews on it..
