Maybe that’s not a great analogy to start your relationship, especially if the object of your affection is clearly recovering from a traumatic experience. Buddy, if she’s prey, then you’re the predator. While I think it’s cool that he was “waiting for resonance” like a little romantic, I found it a lot less romantic when he referred to watching Tiffany like tracking prey. I was disappointed that the other women, especially Kira, weren’t more sympathetic to Tiffany’s legitimate fear of angering the men. The games to win Tiffany’s heart were already boring (and sexist) and should have been shut down before they even began. Lastly, Lila was pretty unfeeling when it came to her older sister, so I would have liked to see that conflict play out more, rather than making Maddie the bad guy. Also, I think if Lila had shown an interest in wanting to be a parent, her running off to “make an alien baby” with Rokan would have felt less creepy. What I Would Like To See: I wish Rokan and Lila had been closer in age because he was so mature and she was not. I could complain about this couple for too long, so instead, I’ll link you to my reviews of Barbarian’s Touch and Barbarian’s Taming.Īlso, Rokan was totally going to let Maddie die in that cave-in in Barbarian’s Taming. Second, I am fully aware that Bean would ditch me if she met a sexy alien man, and I am fine with that. “Miss Posabule, are you claiming that Lila and Rokan are the worst couple because, as a clingy older sister, their relationship is the literary manifestation of your worst fear? The fear that Bean will abandon you to shack-up with a creepy older man she’s known for three weeks, casting you aside in the role of the jealous, bitter hag, even though all you’ve ever wanted is her happiness?”įirst of all, it’s rude to listen in on my therapy sessions. Lila and Rokan – “Barbarian’s Touch” and “ The Barbarian before Christmas“ What I Would Like to See: Their friendship is nice, so I’m content with the direction of their relationship. I’ve seen middle school couples that were more mature than these two.īut I like them as friends! I’m glad they reconciled at Croatoan.
Their break-up, initiated by Claire, was textbook passive-aggression.
She replied by clamming up and refusing to talk to him. Bek was an oppressive tool and nagged Claire constantly, crushing her spirit. Although Claire and Bek were together for over a year, it was a bad year.
Though I did write this fun fancast article if you’d like some ideas on who I think should play each role!Ĭontent Warning: In addition to spoilers for the “Ice Planet Barbarian” Series, I occasionally use salty language to describe the events of the books.
