Because Vektal is chief he makes a lot of decisions later on in the series that I find really annoying. My only asterisks with Georgie and Vektal is that Ice Planet Barbarians is the only book I like either of the characters 😅. For a book that privileges the sexy times, I loved how the author spent the time fleshing out the world-building and creating some really interesting circumstances with the tribe. There was also a nice survival plot happening, as we learn that the human women need to ingest a symbiotic parasite to breathe on the alien planet and Vektal’s tribe has suffered from a severe lack of women. A simpler way of differentiating between ‘erotica smut’ and ‘HEA erotica is that it’s more insta lust than insta love. Ice Planet Barbarians also differs from the rest of the series in that it leans more towards erotica smut than HEA erotica, meaning the emphasis is on sex at the expense of reality. The first book is a bit darker than the rest of the series, as the author was still playing with the overall tone she wanted to set for the world. The premise was unique – a bunch of abducted human women crash landing on an alien planet in its neolithic period (hence the barbarian trope). I really enjoyed Ice Planet Barbarians when I read it all the way back in 2015. See Possible Triggers for Abuse and OTT sad parts.No separation between the Hero and Heroine.Does have slight OW drama (the Hero’s ex-love is his tribe’s healer).Since the series follows a close-knit community, many couples are prominently featured in later books which may explain why a lower-ranked book’s couple is higher-ranked (see Barbarian’s Alien, for example). Book 7.1) must be read after the book it’s listed under: to read books 7.1 and 7.2 you’re supposed to read Book 7 first.īooks with a 🌟 beside them are one of my favourites in the series! Important to note is that in each book review I note where the book and couple rank in the 20 book series (with 1st being the best). Each of the books listed as a sub-bullet point (e.g. The review of the series includes reviews on each of the following books (listed in order of release). When a review (below) mentions “ story continues in:” it means those books are told (at least in part) from the perspective of that couple. Because the series follows a tight-knit group, the reader gets casual updates on the lives of couples from previous books. Most of the books in Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians series centre a human woman and her fated alien mate and the trials of them becoming a couple while surviving on a planet colder than the arctic tundra.Įach of the books concludes with a happy-for-now (HFN) ending.
