Ladies on Top · review
This one's a bit complicated, and ultimately not what I was looking for, but I could see it working for other people. The art's good for the most part, though I don't really like how the eyes are drawn, especially for the female lead (I wish I could be more concrete with my description, but I just find the slightly watery? teary? look they have sometimes to be off-putting). I think the problem is that the title and description are a bit misleading. The way the book looks at first glance makes it seem like a refreshing romance focused around both being sexually openand ignoring traditional gender roles by having the woman take the lead. And it is both of those things, but...it's much more...fetishy, for lack of a better word. It goes straight past subverting gender roles and into femdom territory. Less "subverting" than "inverting". Which...is perfectly okay, if that's your jam. But it's not really mine.
In short-while there's still enough relationship stuff there to have some substance beyond just the sex, it's ultimately for specific tastes.
