This story is unfolding beautifully and SO awkwardly parallel to my life at this literal moment as my new partner basically moves in at 3 weeks in...
The third volume of Stjepan Sejic's Sunstone continues the story of domme Ally and sub Lisa's relationship as well as featuring several other characters who play a part in their story. One of the best and most surprising aspects of Sunstone is it's not the pornotastic cringe inducing affair you might expect from a story of lesbians in a BDSM oriented relationship written and illustrated by a guy.
There's a lot that can be said about how poorly sexuality and women are portrayed in sequential art. Sejic shows how to do it right with a great engrossingly human story of everything that makes up a relationship from the highs to the lows and all expressed through his perfectly pitched art, art which flows from a looser sketchier style to the more painterly style he is known for.

This serie is a delight surprise in every volume. So hot, so cute.
I can't even... My feels... My heart... I love this series too much!!! I read this volume online as Sejic posted the pages and reading them in paperback still gives me the same glee as the first time. That's saying a lot for someone who doesn't often repeat reads (and I've read all of the online pages more than once).
Sunstone brings together a lot of the things I love, and has taught me about things I would otherwise be ignorant of. It's enlightening, absolutely delightful, and a must-read for anyone who has an open enough mind. The world needs more creators like Sejic who can handle controversial/delicate content with respect and charm, and do it while telling an endearing story with very human characters.
If you aren't already reading Sunstone, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?!?! It's the only series that's earned a solid 5 stars from me for ALL of its currently released volumes. Judging by the more recent pages Sejic has online, this series is going to keep getting 5 stars.

There are special moments we remember, specific crossroads in our lives... they usually end up derailing our best laid life plans and expectations, often changing us in some profound way.
Vol. 3 was many, many things but I have to say it was especially sexy. Of course, all volumes had some sexy scenes on them, but the emphasis on roleplaying and dressing up was very nice to read about. The feelings didn't hit me until those last pages, but they were all warm and celebrating. I think I'm already warming up to the author's style and the characters, and thus I enjoyed this one much better! Can't wait to see how it goes.
