Abandoned on Niflheim #2
Agnarr's Jarlin
Having accepted their mate bond, Piper and Agnarr are thrust into Niflheim's complex tribal politics. She and Agnarr are ready to lead the tribe, but the arrival of 12 human women has added unexpected challenges. While some orkin have willingly accepted the humans, others are prejudiced against them—and their new jarlin, too.
While Piper worries about the new humans feeling welcome, Agnarr faces elders verbally attacking his new mate. Between political upheaval and the pressure to carve out a space in the tribe for the human women, Agnarr and Piper barely have time to sate their ravenous mating frenzy. Do they have what it takes to lead the tribe together while nurturing their new relationship?

Jarlin say what?
So as many have mentioned before book 2 picks up right where book 1 ends. It was nice to see Piper and Agnarr become bonded mates. The transition to mates seemed to work so well because of their ongoing attraction and great communication. I wish I could take all these Orc men and keep them in my back pocket 😍😍!
I thought while reading this it would continue to world build but this continues as a dual perspective character driven story. In no way was this a negative it was just very different than you see fantasy written. This was pretty care free for a read where human women have been taken from the only life they’ve ever known. The characters while stressed and many on several forms of medication seemed a lot more trustworthy than the Orcs who were in their own home.
I look forward to seeing where this series will go from here. Will the other women struggle in this new world ? Will they find Elska mates? Will Piper develop well in this new role as tribe leader? Will there be any Orc Shield Maiden’s?
I am extremely grateful that I was provided an ARC from the author. All opinions are my own.

*Edited after finishing*
I still feel the same way about my review at 65%. However something that was big in the last book that wasn’t mentioned in this one at all, was the promise to let eligible Orc’s from the other tribe come meet the human women at a chance to find a mate. I think that’s a big secret to keep from the women!
Original review:
I will have to come back and edit this when I’m finished. But I am about 65% of the way through with some thoughts so I’m going to start my review now.
The first book in the series is awesome! I loved the story, I loved the spice. I loved the adventure and the love and the learning of each other. And it gives ice planet barbarian mate vibes.
This one is not as much my taste for several reasons.
1. The spice is here. If you want some good orc spice, this is it! However, I feel the story is getting lost in it. I’m finding that I’m starting to skim the spice scenes because they are becoming so frequent and repetitive that I’m just wanting to get back to the story. Even if the author lessened the amount of spice here, I believe it would still be heavy on the spice and probably better 🤷🏼♀️ there just isn’t that build up for the spice and the angst that I love personally.
2. There is a clear political standpoint from this author. While I am very much all for woman’s rights, equal rights, and that we suffer from certain discrimination from men. I do agree with how the author portrays some of the misogyny views that are from pipers home planet to be true, I can clearly see a political view here. And Piper comes across as bitter and hateful, and emotionally weak to not be able to overcome trauma to move on in your life. I don’t like knowing an authors political view. It makes me roll my eyes and wish they would leave it out. I read to escape the shit in our world. Not to have political influence shoved down my throat. I can see that she is clearly trying to make a point for the women to be treated as equals and for some back story on trauma, and also for a better environment on this alien planet, but it’s too much. Please, less of that in the next one.
3. Piper is so clearly invested in the women being treated as equals and goes as far as ripping Magna a new asshole in the tribal meetings, and knows he is misogynistic. She preaches the outright atrocity of the abuse these women have suffered at the hands of misogynistic men on their home planet, and then lets her emotions get the best of her and jumps out of her chair and literally slaps the orc at his comment. Ok ok ok… did he deserve that? Probably. But after all the preaching from our self righteous human hero- it goes against everything she is preaching against! You can’t be SO against the abuse towards women and then just go slap a giant orc for saying something shitty.
So no. I do not like this. Abuse is abuse. And that was abuse. If you’re going to create a female character so against it, let’s make sure she isn’t going to then do it herself.
4. There seems to be some kind of hypocrisy going on here. Piper talked to the women about what they wanted and I thought was going to stand clear on that. And at the tribal meetings seems to be giving the orc elders promises of mating and orklings, while “working on them” when the women have stated how they feel. When she goes back to the human woman she promises acceptance without the expectation of taking a mate or even looking for one. Yet the tribal meetings seem to put some focus on how many of the women are ready and willing to take a mate… Not sure how to feel about this yet. But it doesn’t seem like she was fully following her own plan with this.
5.It gives me the ick with the amount of times piper (let’s note that Agnarr doesn’t do this) brings up past sexual experiences with other partners during intimacy with Agnarr! 🤮 WHY?! It’s bad enough she talks about it constantly, like every single time they are about to be sexual. But during?! Come on… please stop with that 😅
I’ll be back. But that’s where I’m at right now.

This was such a cute read and I was so excited to be sent an ARC after reading Agnarr’s Teacher.
This story has no third act breakup, no conflict between the main characters, and is overall a sweet story with lots of world building and comparisons about how this new place differs from earth.
I appreciated the intention to illustrate a better world, but I do struggle when books talk about social issues. I read because I need a break from reality, but not everyone may feel that way and I completely understand that.
My favorite part of this story, though, was the genuine love between Piper and Agnarr. The way they both incorporated each other’s cultures and values and supported each other in leadership was so nice and made this story super sweet.

This second book in the Abandoned on Niflheim series continues right from where the first book left off.
Piper and Agnarr are mated and set to be the next leaders of the tribe. But there are human women waking up on a new planet, orcs looking for mates, prejudice, resistance to change, and on top of all that, the mating fever hasn't let up at all. The only thing they're sure of is that they are meant to be together and will do anything to secure their future.
This book had everything I loved about the first book, plus more world building that gave me a really enjoyable insight into the orkin culture the humans have found themselves thrown into. Piper's struggles to find her place in this new world were a highlight of the book for me, I enjoyed seeing her find her place in the world with the loving care of her mate. Agnarr's unconditional love for Piper was truly swoon worthy. Whenever she asked for what she needed, he had no questions or arguments, just unending support for her needs.
Piper's anxiety was so realistic and so well written. She worries about her place on Niflheim and her ability to lead the human women, but despite that she perseveres and forges ahead. Her struggle to assume her place and her role were very relatable, and we should all be so fortunate to find a mate like Agnarr. And the caring went both ways. Piper was always there for Agnarr to help him with anything he needed. Despite the outward struggles they faced, their relationship and love were so solid.
And on top of everything they had going on, the mating fever was still in full force. these two could not keep their hands off each other at any opportunity. This book was super hot and packed with spicy scenes! Agnarr is a very giving orc who is very willing to learn what his partner enjoys. Add in his fancy equipment, and Piper is one lucky woman!
This book is perfect for anyone who enjoys cinnamon roll orcs, a loving and supportive relationship, low angst, and lots and lots of spice

This book continues the series with the same level of cuteness, spice, an idealized society that genuinely respects each of it’s citizens (both orcs and human “immigrants”), open communication between romantic partners in what they want/need, and representation of how a community can help a new group join and find their place. Everyone’s HEA, whether its the FMC and MMC (the central HEA) or side/“minor” characters settling into their new place in the community, is highly predictable but still enjoyable. Definitely more of a lighthearted story. Highly recommend.

If spicy and extra spicy had a baby that would be the amount of spice in this book o
This was a continuation of the first book (Agnarr's teacher)
This really sets the series up for going into the next stories between each future coupling.
It takes place the day/day after the first book ends.
Very important anxiety, depression, body shape, and other disabilities representation
I can't wait for the series to continue !

2.5/5 did this smack as much as I wanted it to? No, BUT it was still sweet, GIMME BOOK 3!

Agnarr and Pipers story is beautiful to read. Very very low-angst, like this book is so laid back it's horizontal. Super chill, nice vibes and some fun spice 🌶️
I'll tell you now, if you want a high tension story with twists and turns? This book isn't it. If you want a cute, fluffy, cinnamon roll orc that only wants their mate to be happy? This is the book for ya.
There is a lot of diplomacy in this book, lots of conversations on making the right decisions for a large group of beings.
Would I recommend this book? Yes! Of course, read the first book, Agnarr's Teacher, first.
I received an ARC copy for an honest review 😊

This was a nice and easy read to get through. If you like a lot of smut, then this is the book for you! I liked the viking elements and depiction of characters who weren’t ‘perfect’. I generally like a bit more plot to my smut though, hence why it wasn’t rated higher, though there is nothing wrong with the book. I did find it a bit confusing in some parts where a decision was made and final but then in the next chapter they would be back to discussing whether to go ahead with the the decision. Overall, a pleasant read.

Trigger or content warning? Yes, included in book.
Details?
FMC’s name is Piper and she is 28 years old. MMC’s name is Agnarr and he is 32 years old.
No OW/OM. Sexual pasts are mentioned. Agnarr has slept with a solid chunk of women that are apart of the clan but none cause issues.
No condoms are used, pregnancy does not occur in the book.
My thoughts?
This book was like an extremely extended epilogue. I loved every bit of it. It was the couple settling into life with each other, and filling in world building of how the human’s would fit into the clan. I enjoyed it a lot being high spice and low angst.

*I received an ARC copy for my honest review.
First off, I love the first book. This is a direct continuation of Agnarr and Piper’s journey of becoming leaders and trying to integrate the new human women refugees.
I went into this thinking there would be more world building, action, conflict. This story focused more on politics and a lot of mundane details about planning that could have been summarized.
Now the spice was good! Lots of spice as the couple is experiencing a mating frenzy. Lots of healing discussions, consent, great. However, there was some long winded dialogue happening within the throws of passion that should have happened during pillow talk vs. when it did.
I am VERY excited to see where this series goes next, there is a great foundation built here for additional stories and couples.
-MMM

Unfortunately, this book left a lot to be desired for me. The author’s writing style is extremely literal, with no nuance whatsoever. The dialogue felt unnatural, and I found the political plot line to be super cringeworthy. The book is also in desperate need of editing for consistency (e.g., “grautr” in book 1 vs “gautr” in book 2) and grammatical errors/typos. In terms of smut, it mainly features knotting and clear consent.

My rating:
⭐⭐/5
I DNF'd at 39% in. I'm sorry, but this book was not needed.
I truly don't know if I will even continue with this series. It has everything I love; aliens, orcs, fated mates, an alien village that has indoor plumbing, and the author is going to be attending a con I'll be at and I had hopes to meet her. But the writing style kills it for me and I just don't think Wood's books and me are good fit at all.
I really was looking forward to Steve's book, he interested me since book 1, but I really don't want to force my way through more of this. I wish Wood the best in her future as a writer and I hope over time it gets better than these last 2 books!

Gleeful Goblin Review: Book #2 picks up right on the tail of Book #1 and benefits tremendously from that in regards to continuity. Everything I loved about Book #1 is still here with nuanced and rock solidly written mental health/anxiety/PTSD representation, outstanding character growth, and enough steam to run a sauna empire. The relationship between our MCs built in stages throughout Book #1 so I appreciate that while the mating bond is fully in place now, that doesn't just INSTANTLY magically fix trauma, anxiety, or shame/self doubt. Seeing the wounds that are under unhealthy or maladaptive coping mechanisms be soothed and often begin to heal was one of my favorite things about both books in this series so far. Especially on days where it feels like my anxiety, ADHD, or PTSD is more in charge of my life than I am it's so soothing to immerse myself in steamy fantasy like this where characters struggle, fall down, and have incredibly low points but are still loved and accepted. One of my favorite scenes in the book is when Piper is meeting the rest of the abducted women and everyone is sharing why they were deemed "unsuitable" by the alien abductors. As a member of #TeamNeurospicy I really appreciated how everyone was very cards on the table about themselves and the almost AA meeting introduction circle really tickled me. Even with only brief snippets of who the other women are I was right there with Piper thinking about having that gut feeling of finding a fast friend/fellow weirdo.
There was also a super brief, but very important to me, scene between the MCs and the current/outgoing Jarlin where there was very matter of fact LGBTQIA+ acceptance discussed as it relates to bearing offspring. I yearn to live in a world with even close to this level of acceptance. Where it's *so expected* that there are different orientations and styles of love that the idea of anything different is an oddity. "Are there any other reasons a human female would hesitate to bear young?” she asked. “Well, I haven’t asked them yet, but I don’t know that all human women are interested in males. Some may want to pursue a romantic relationship with a female. Some might not want a romantic relationship at all,” I explained. At this, Astrid looked thoughtful, strumming her fingers against her lips. “We have orkin that choose same-sex partners, which is not an issue. I can’t think of any orkin in the recent past that hasn’t wanted any romantic relationship, but that shouldn’t be a significant problem.”
For so very many reasons I want to live in this world and have a partner who loves, grows, and challenges me in the ways that the MCs in this book do. My literal only complaint is that I can't literally live in this world. 5/5 Stars 🤩

~ STORY & PLOT 📝 ~
This is the coziest read I had this year.
The story is very low angst while having real discussions about the place human women should hold in their society after they were left on that alien-orc planet.
Those types of subjects are also why I love monster/fantasy books. Having the liberty to imagine another world where you can depict how you would want the real world to be. To expose the things that ain't right in our reality while writing about something soothing and heart-melting.
~ ROMANCE & MAIN CHARACTERS 💖 ~
I liked Piper even more in that book than in the first. She's very relatable and very lovable. I love the anxiety representation. Matter of fact, I love all the representations the women bring in that book. I would love to read about their story in Niflheim in other books. ✨
Agnarr was incredible in book 1, but he still managed to top it here. He's everything: patient, loving, caring while still having that primal side about him that is absolutely 🔥😮💨.
Still a Consent King, always making sure everything is perfect for his mate ❤️🔥.
Their relationship is incredibly sweet, and I just love how much they communicate and how much that communication makes them grow as a couple. 🥰
~ SPICE 🌶️ ~
Now, the story and romance might be peaceful but the spice will definitely get your heartbeat going🔥 😂.
We are here in the middle of a mating freezy my dear friends and they basically cannot stay away from each other!
Like in the first book, that special anatomy is the star of the show but it's not all that they have in store for us 😏.

~ SPICE 🌶️ ~
Now, the story and romance might be peaceful but the spice will definitely get your heartbeat going🔥 😂.
We are here in the middle of a mating freezy my dear friends and they basically cannot stay away from each other!
Like in the first book, that special anatomy is the star of the show but it's not all that they have in store for us 😏.

4.25 / 5 stars
3.5 / 5 peppers (frequency was more like a 4/5 peppers)
Here we are again visiting the lovely world that Jenifer Wood has created. We continue to follow the main characters from the first book Agnarr and Piper, who are Elska mates. I absolutely recommend reading the first book Agnarr's Teacher first otherwise you will be confused since this is a continuation of the story. This continues to be a low conflict, sweet, and spicy read. Giving me just the right ratio of cozy and spice. This one is definitely spicier than the first since the main characters are exploring their mating bond in this book.
Agnarr: He is still the sweet cinnamon roll lumbersnack that he was in the first book. I still adored him as I did in the first book, he would do anything for Piper. I think it will be interesting in future books to see him in his new role as Jarl.
Piper: The FMC who struggles with anxiety as she takes on her new role in the tribe. She could be pretty fierce at times. I liked watching her grow in her relationship with Agnarr and overcome her insecurities that her past has given her.
It was interesting seeing the changes as Piper integrated herself (and the other women) into the tribe, I also loved seeing more of the Orc lifestyle and culture. I am not going to lie, I had expected a little more conflict than there was just due to the topics covered in this story, but that is why I felt this was a cozy read. This is practically a hallmark story featuring a monster romance where all the puzzle pieces just seem to fall into place, it is that type of cozy but with a heaping helping of spice. This story also sets the scene for future stories about the other human women who are now on Niflheim. I think Billie's story is who I look forward to most after this. I am so curious who her Elska mate will be.
I have been a reading slump for the past few months so this was nice light read to get me back into reading again, I enjoyed this story. If you are looking for a lighthearted and spicy Orc romance than I recommend giving this series a try, again I do recommend starting with the first story Agnarr's Teacher. I look forward to reading about other characters in this world in future books that I imagine are going to be written.

We pick up right where we left off in book one (not counting the epilogue in book one) and Agnarr and Piper are returning to the village. They have just solidified their bond and must now navigate the status of Jarl and Jarlin while consumed by mating fever and having to figure out what to do with the other human women who have woken up.
The mating fever is definitely high in their minds as the book is filled with spicy moments between our lovers. They absolutely cannot keep their hands off one another and spice is sprinkled liberally on the pages, I think a good portion of the chapters had a spicy moment in them. I will say that even though it was plenty of spice, the book kept the warm and happy vibes going and it didn’t feel repetitive at all.
I really enjoyed watching Piper and Agnarr grow into their roles as the leaders of the village and especially them finding comfort and support in one another. The way Agnarr learned of Piper’s tells and how he was her safe haven when she needed a good cry were excellent! Those moments were my highlights. And I’m confident these two can handle whatever the burden of leadership might bring them.
I was also really happy to see the low-conflict side of the the first book continued in this one and I had a lot of happy vibes while reading the book. The lighthearted way the story moved forward was so good! I really had fun with this book and it still feels like a warm, happy hug ❤️
I’m very curious to see what happens to the villagers next and especially who might be the next orc to gain an Elska Mate. I have my suspicions but let’s see if they come true of not.

The first book leaves us just when the two protagonists accept the Mating Bound, we can see how the ceremony of the elska mate takes place. Also, they are preparing to be the new leaders of the tribe which takes us through the path they both have to go through and the new challenges they must overcome to be accepted by some members of the tribe, we can see the growth of both characters and how the marriage is along with the duty of the tribe. Piper meets the other 11 women who woke up in her absence, knowing why they are here and their traumas and stories, I liked the part how they let us know the traumas and situations that women go through, speaking more freely and not leaving it in the dark was a good representation of what women go through in different situations.
The mating frenzy bound is at its highest point they can't keep their hands off each other the spice scenes are all over the place and don't disappoint. Agnnarr is so loving and understanding with Piper she is everything a woman could want, plus a big sexy Orc. The wedding was such a beautiful and sweet thing, how the two traditions bond to see each other's happiness, I love that scene. The world-building continues to amaze me I love this cozy and cozy.
I would like to keep reading this saga to see what the next book has in store for us, the other women were happy and would get their elska mate, and there will be little ones in the next book for our main couple.
Thank you for the opportunity to be part of the ARC team, I am leaving my honest and voluntary opinion.

We pick up right where we left off in Agnarr’s Teacher (which we all appreciate!). The mating bond has been completed and the humans have woken up. Some of the orcs feel as though the human females don’t belong and will weaken the tribe. There are heavy discussions on discrimination and misogyny.
This book has significantly more topical commentary which for me, took me out of the story a fair bit. It’s just not something I personally enjoy reading but I’m sure this was something people would enjoy if they enjoy that kind of stuff.
We still get a lot of Agnarr and Piper. Tons of spice and love. Mating frenzy and a wedding on top of all the new titles. I was a little worried about how I would keep all the human women a part but was pleasantly surprised that only a few were main side characters. This book covered a decent amount of time and story but ended with the wedding which was such a sweet scene. Will we get a third book? Perhaps orklings? 👀 I’m looking forward to whatever comes next but if this is the end, it wrapped up well.

the perfect man doesn't ex- wait no he does, he's just an alien orc who's favorite place to be is in between your legs
This is book 2 in the abandoned on Niflheim series.
This book focuses on the same two characters as the first book, and continues the last book left off ( minus the first books epilogue)
The mating frenzy is going full send so you can expect this book to have 10x the amount of spice compared to the first one. The other women have woken up and we get to find out why they think they were left behind. I love the representation we get with mental health and disorders ( depression, PTSD, anexity , ADHD and so on) I'm excited to see where this story takes off and if we get the other women's POVs in the future
We get to explore more of the orcs in the teubes thoughts and theres some orc politics. I think the way the older generation views and the newer ones was well represented just like how they are in today's society
I really enjoyed the story, if you enjoyed IPB than I think you will like this, it's filled with hot cinnamon , touch her and die orcs just want to pleasure their females and care about consent
Because remember friends. Consent is sexy.

December 19, 2023"Hello, my lovely Lumbersnack."
High heat, low angst. I loved this continuation of Agnarr and Pip’s story. It picks up right after Agnarr’s Teacher leaves off and does a wonderful job of world-building and setting up Fyrifirar for the other stranded ladies of Niflheim.
Agnarr and Pip prepare to take over as Jarl and Jarlin while navigating tribal politics, Elska mating heat, and the integration of the human women into the community. I love getting this inside look at the intricacies and difficulties of being an outsider and stepping into the role of leader. All too often I read these sci-fi/fantasy tales and they cut off at “chief and human woman mate” and the next story is a different set of characters, the first already established as the leaders.
One of my favorite themes in this series is the mental health representation. Jenifer Wood does an amazing job describing the realities of living with anxiety. It is my understanding that each book will deal with different mental health themes and I am very excited to dive into the next one.
If you loved Agnarr’s Teacher, you will love his Jarlin. If you haven’t read it yet, what are you even waiting for? Agnarr is a consent king who only wants to please his elska mate, and honest communication about intimacy is so often overlooked in these spicy stories. Both books feature a Cinnamin roll MMC, Mental Health Rep FMC, Sweet, Spicy, Funny, Great Banter. The first book has a little more adventure and excitement, and this one is such a lovely way to wrap up their story.

Piper is settling into life on Niflheim. It helps that she's fated mates to the kindest, softest, most gracious lover imaginable - Agnarr. She's to be Jarlin (Chief) alongside her mate, which is perfect because the tribe is welcoming the other women who were abandoned alongside Piper. Work, physical and emotional, gets done to ensure the well-being of all - human and orc - is seen to during this period of change.
This book is Piper and Agnarr's power couple era. It's obvious they're fated mates with how they support each other. They model exemplary communication as a couple and as community advocates. They really love their tribe.
They're also very newly mated and can't keep their hands and mouths and bits off each other. Wow! My heart was full to see Piper advocating for her wants and ensuring Agnarr was given the same consideration. She also isn't ashamed to process her past out loud because of the security Agnarr provides. It's a rare and beautiful thing for a partner to hold your darkness but never hold it against you. I love them so much.

This is my very first ARC. I read the first book, Agnarr's Teacher, and jumped straight into this one.
This book picks up right where the last book left off. I was really excited to meet all the other women who were abandoned with Piper. I enjoyed the wide variety of personalities that were given to these characters, but honestly, I was hoping for a little more interaction with them in this book. The primary focus is Agnarr and Piper stepping into the role of Jarl and Jarlin and getting the other women accepted and comfortable within the tribe.
There are a lot more spicy scenes in this book. Every few chapters, they were going at it. Very well written descriptions in those moments. For me personally, I felt like it was a little too much sex, but I understand the mating frenzy that the author was pushing for. It was definitely a frenzy.
I am really looking forward to the next book. I'm excited to see which one of the women we get to know next.

Okay, so this is the first series I got to read that involved an orc and a human. As I read this book, my emotions were all over the place! I giggled at the cute banter between Agnarr and Piper, my heart melted at some touching scenes, blushed and smirked at the spicy scenes and gasped audibly for one scene in particular! There was one chapter in this book that I swear I felt I was on a rollercoaster of emotions! The progression of the relationship between Agnarr and Piper was for the better. I cannot and will not stop recommending this book series to my friends who are into books like this! Low angst, lovey-dovey scenes and of course, extra spicy! Jenifer did an amazing job at picking up exactly where it left off in the first book. The representation of curvy women and anxiety fighting women did not go unnoticed. I felt heard and seen in more ways than one and I connected with Piper in many, many occasions as she tries to manage her emotions and her new life with her lumbersnack. No spoilers given because where is the fun in that?

The book was a great read. I was very excited Piper and Agnarr were getting another book and more steamy scenes :). I wanted to see their romance continue. I thought the world building was excellent. We meet new members of the orkin tribe and the other women have woken up. They all have different issues and they they sit together with Piper and figure out why they were left on the planet and how they can be integrated into orkin community. The orkin and the human women all have to learn to live with each other and there are some clashes, which Piper, Agnarr and Astrid work to solve. I liked how Piper's anxieties and insecurity were dealt with and her having the selfless Agnarr always there to help. Both of them learn more about each other's experiences and feelings and apply it to the good of the tribe.

This book is the literal embodiment of sugar, spice, and everything nice. It begins right where the first ends but brings all the heat with extremely low angst. A debut author who focuses on the readers' experience while making every aspect enjoyable, whether that be laugh out loud moments between humans and ORCs or hot hot scenes that make you blush and want more. I love Agnarr and Piper and could read about them and their love story forever but am also super excited to see where all the other women end up and watch the ORCs learn about them while falling in love.

This book is perfect for anyone who enjoys cinnamon roll orcs, a loving and supportive relationship, low angst, and lots and lots of spice.
We pick up right where we left off in Agnarr’s Teacher (which we all appreciate!). The mating bond has been completed and the humans have woken up. Some of the orcs feel as though the human females don’t belong and will weaken the tribe. There are heavy discussions on discrimination and misogyny.
It warmed my heart that this world is 99% openminded, and acceptance is a must have! The human women are accepted for who they are, and our main couple fought for their rights to be themself.
For so very many reasons I want to live in this world and have a partner who loves, grows, and challenges me in the ways that the MCs in this book do.

I was so pumped to be lucky enough to receive an ARC for an honest review!
I loved how this was a light, quick read! There was no angst, no third act breakup and no conflict, which made this such a refreshing read! You definitely need to read the first book before diving into this one as this book is a continuation of the first. Speaking of which, I loved how much more of this world I got to see and the other characters we got to meet. I liked how Piper was able to charm the older Orc's into accepting her and Agnarr's bond. Which, their bond was so sweet! I loved getting to witness their love and care for each other and it blossomed more with time spent together. The spice and heat from their mating frenzy was off the charts! Overall, I definitely recommend this duology for a quick, cute wintery read!

Piper and Agnarr are back at it again! If you haven’t already, I would highly encourage you to read Agnarr’s Teacher, which is book one in this series. It’ll introduce you to the main characters and get you up to speed.
Book two picks up right where things left off. Piper and Agnarr are in a mating frenzy, and things get super spicy. I enjoyed the character development of this couple. Agnarr and Piper complement each other so well, and I love seeing them take on more of a leadership role.
I was excited to learn more about the other humans who were abandoned too! There were so many interesting characters, and I hope we get to experience them tackling their traumas, growing with the tribe, and possibly finding love, too.
If you are looking for a sweet and spicy orc romance, this one is for you!

“So, you took off all your clothes and got into bed because...” I trailed off.
“Because I’ve been thinking about riding your magnificent c*ck since this morning?” she said…
…
Agnarr’s Jarlin is the second installment in the Abandoned on Niflheim series. This book picks up right after book one and shows our MC’s work together to become the leaders they were destined to be! I give this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
I loved the direction this book went in! While there’s a TON of spice between Agnarr and Piper, there’s so much more going on. I loved seeing these two work together to become the new leaders of the village.
Piper impressed me so much! She took on such a motherly role with the human women and fought for not only their right to be included in the village, but for their comfort. She did all of this while battling her anxiety. I loved that she took the time to get to know all the women (and in doing so we got to know them as well) and made sure each of them felt seen and heard with their concerns now that they’re stuck on an alien planet. Piper was truly amazing in this book!
Agnarr’s support of Piper was fantastic! He’s head over heels for his mate and wants to help her not only succeed, but feel comfortable in her new role. He’s always there to talk when she’s feeling overwhelmed and makes sure she knows how much he loves her. I loved how primal he got in the bedroom in this book 🥵. His lumbersnack appeal skyrocketed in this book!
The SLAP SCENE though?! Y’all that had me freaking out. GO PIP GO!
