“It wasn’t a monster come to eat me. It was this monster. Who’s come to eat me out.”
If that quote made you uncomfortable, this isn’t the book for you. I started reading Ice Planet Barbarians because my booksta friends were all reading it and loving it. I had no expectations, I thought I wouldn’t like it, I thought I’d likely be grossed out. Nope, I loved it, shamelessly loved every bit of it.
However, if there was no dual POV I wouldn’t have liked it at all. This story needed Vektal’s voice. You get to know the world he’s from and see him as a person, not an alien monster. The culture of his people is actually very enticing, though archaic.
If I had to choose between fighting for my life against the green aliens who abducted me and a blue-skinned alien with horns who worships every inch of my body, yeah, I’m choosing the latter.
