Sunstone Volume 3

By all means read this. But not first. Go back and catch up on Sunstone 1-2. Then grab Sunstone 4-5 Continuing the story from Sunstone 1-2. And I'm definitely glad they were all already out when I started this series. Good read. My series review from Sunstone 1 copied below for reference (I read them all before writing any reviews) The world is a wide place. Full of strangeness, and gems like this. First, address the elephant in the room: this series is set in context and world of BDSM and fetishwear. It is assuredly NSFW, and if kinks, homosexuality, nudity, erotic themes and situations, and dialog about nonstandard sexual preference and practice is going to bother you, ye have been warned. That being said, I started this on recommendation**, honestly because Sunstone had seriously outraged someone else so I figured it'd be good for at least a glance. And oh my, but there is a story there. This is a story addressing loneliness. About the communities around us, visible and otherwise. The connections we need, we crave to be human***. Too, it talks about consent, kinks, lifestyles, hobbies, and nerding out, treating them fairly. The artwork in the series is lovely, drawn in varying degrees of realistic tones and proportions (not chibi or cartoon-y, with occasional semi-photographic style or cartoonish look for bookends or emphasis) ** If it helps, this was recommended by a librarian in charge of their graphic novel curation. *** not going for the obvious bondage joke there, but feel free to reference it if you wish

Sunstone Volume 3 continues to impress with its exceptional build quality and captivating content. The hardcover is sturdy and well-made, ensuring that it stands up to frequent reading while maintaining its visual appeal. The story in this volume remains engaging and thoughtfully developed, building on the strong foundation of the previous volumes. The characters are well-rounded, and their interactions are both intriguing and relatable. The art, as always, is beautifully executed, with detailed illustrations that enhance the storytelling and bring the narrative to life. Overall, Sunstone Volume 3 is a fantastic addition to the series. Both the story and art are top-notch, and the book's quality makes it a pleasure to own and read. Highly recommended for fans of the series and newcomers alike!

Excellent artwork, and the story is captivating!

Sapphic, bdsm and amazing art. Sejic really understands the world and writes great queer characters. It's a great read for anyone interested in the scene or looking for a steamy lesbian story.

Love this artists work, truly fantastic art and amazing story. Highly recommend.

Big fan of this author's work, and this is the third book in his amazing Sunstone series. Strongest possible recommendation for anyone looking for a great, character-drive drama.

Fantastically written and beautifully drawn, 10/10 constant recommend the entire story.

I love this series. The characters are very well developed, instantly grab your attention and hold on. The subject matter is handled in a thoughtful and respectful manner. Alternative lifestyles are presented in a clear way, and examined by several different points of view by different characters within the book. If this were my lifestyle, this is how I would hope the people in my microcosm would approach life. The relationships are portrayed in very a very real manner, with awkwardness and fights getting as much attention as sexiness and romanticism. The respect paid to people of all different walks of life is just tremendous. I know I repeated that point, but I did it on purpose: the writers and artists should be commended for this portrayal.

Continuación digna. Historia muy divertica, sensual y romantica; 100% recomendada.

A la vez que te atrapa, te excita y te enternece el descubrimiento de los dos personajes principales y el desarrollo de su relación, ha resultado ser un ejercicio didáctico y aleccionador sobre un tema bastante desconocido, al menos para mí.

I previously reviewed volumes 1 and 2 where I compared Sunstone to the popular 50 shades series. Sunstone is so obviously better than shades. But I sort of had to. Sunstone and shades were the only two commercial BDSM series I've ever read. I read shades out of morbid curiousity just to confirm how terrible it was. It was terrible. Not even real BDSM. Sunstone is real. At least it feels real coming from someone with no actual experience. The characters, dialogue, and story all feel real, believable, and relatable. It wasn't stiff or awkward or made my eyes roll like shades. Sunstone did more with compromising poses with elegant costumes and kinky implements than shades could ever do with all its heavy-handed sex scenes that felt forced in more ways than one. At this point, there's no reason to even compare anymore. Sunstone is in another league. It's beyond just the kink. There's a wonderful story here that just happens to have just the right amount of spice.

Ho già esaltato Sejic e il suo talento nelle recensioni dei due volumi precedenti quindi evito di ripetermi anche qui. In questo volume la storia si fa sempre più intensa visto che il legame che tiene unite Ally e Lisa si fa sempre più intenso. Inoltre iniziano a fare capolino (e a prendere sempre più spessore) anche i personaggi secondari che entrano nelle vite delle due protagoniste movimentandole sia nel bene che nel male. Le tavole sono sempre di una bellezza disarmante, e quello che amo in Sejic è il suo cambiare stile a seconda di ciò che sta raccontando e di come vuole raccontarlo. Passa dal uno stile più veloce e schizzato (ma sempre molto espressivo) a uno dettagliato in ogni minima parte. Come sempre un ottimo lavoro. Unico neo: in questo volume non ci sono tavole "extra" o commenti dell'autore, ma solo la storia.

Nice pictures, Good story but a really Wicked sense of humour . Some of it is in your face, some of it is well hidden that you will find it if you reread but some parts are so dry it's makes Jack Dee looks WET. (
