Sunstone Volume 3

By all means read this. But not first. Go back and catch up on Sunstone 1-2. Then grab Sunstone 4-5Continuing 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

The story introduces use a bit more to the psychology of the BDSM culture, from a bigger picture of the people who engages in it, and the way they handle their privacy.The most important things I felt this volume almost feels like an actual ending to the series, given that we get closure to the cliffhanger from Vol. 1.Almost every character in here has their development, and it feels rather satisfying given how it explains stuff, but doesn't go to deep into their lives. Theirs felt more descriptive, rather than engaging.The art of Sejic can certainly achieve the illusion of realism in a very convincing way despite the simple tricks (not easy, nor amateurish, but creatively speaking) he uses to handle lights and shadows along with mostly a monotone palette.Something I don't like about his art is that females tends to have no difference other than hair's tile, and skin colour. Otherwise, you could mix them up all the time.However, I do enjoy how expressive the characters can get without going too far for the most part in facial expressions.

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.

At first glance, I'm sure that there are a number of readers who would perhaps be wary of a GN whose storyline includes explorations of the BDSM (Domme/sub) culture. However, Sunstone is SO MUCH more than that. The characters are colorful, rich, and complex; they are also hysterically funny at times, delightfully down to earth, and possess foibles and faults that I'm betting many of us are all too familiar with. Above all, Sunstone is a love story. And a truly heart-warming one at that. You will find yourself absolutely rooting for the main protagonists, Ally and Lisa, as they navigate their new relationship through good times, fun times, misunderstandings, and that eternal dance of truly getting to know, and allowing YOURSELF to be known, by another person whom you're attracted to. Stjepan Šejić is both a magnificently gifted artist and storyteller. Sunstone is definitely NOT one to miss!

The third part of the sunstone series, show each character in their more human side, and tender one too. Ally gets more time to shine and show more layers to her personality. And a new main point of view is introduced Anne. The story gets more heated and more intriguing with every edition and explores the world a bit more as well.

Great Comic. Wish there was more stuff like this. Wouldn't mind something a bit more hardcore either. Writing and art are top tier. I bought them all!!!!!

The series is a great way to normalize all kinds of consensual sexual activity while exemplifying the fact that everyone- even the lgbt+ kinky ones- are still ordinary people with quirks. The story flows well, and the actions of the characters are believable. Although you already know how it will end, you still find yourself rooting for them to make it. A fantastic romp in to the lives of kinky people, with gorgeous coloring and art.

From fulfilling there fantasies to catching fellings. It was all meant to be just a bit of fun. Submissive meets her domme, they have a few sessions and fulfill there sexual desires. It has become much more than that, feelings are growing, neither one of them will say how they truly feel. Both are scared they will ruining what they have. This is such a great comic, you really get an insight and an understanding on what it will like to be in a BDSM relationship. The characters feel like they could be my friends, art is absolutely beautiful. I recommend this to anyone who has an open mind. Put down the horrendous 50 shades of grey and replace it with this beautiful piece of work. You will not be disappointed

I love the story and the art is gorgeous. I read most of it online but I stopped when I found out it's gonna be published. Now I'm pre-ordering the comics as soon as they become available and will continue to do so. Highly recommended.

I utterly love the story of the two characters in these series of graphic novels and couldn't stop reading once I started, I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys not just a lesbian S&M style of book but would also love the story that it has.

love this book series , sexy funny thought provoking into the human condition...great

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. (
