I really enjoyed reading this. There was a lot of variety in the styles and stories, particularly with there being disabled rep too!

Lovely collection of trans erotic comics – Like any anthology, some will likely be to one reader's taste and not another!
I think the editors do a careful job at forewarning readers what each comic contains, but I did find those page breaks that contained content notes, notes from the editors, and notes from the authors, to be rather distracting.

I wasn't really impressed with the book to begin with and in 'fiends with benefits', the protagonist looked too infantile and the story made me quit reading. Body hair/pubic hair is an important thing that was left off of many character and it culminated in me DNF-ing the book.

I adore this anthology. A wide range of artistic style, narratives, characters, and ways to enjoy eroticism (and romance, im not here for that really though).
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys erotic comics and transmasc representation. All of the artists clearly love the characters and pieces they put in here. Such a fantastic read and a delight on the eyes.
My favorites were Red Delicious, Weeds, Fiends With Benefits, and The Four Auspicious Priests.

I wish I could read stories like this easily in other book forms. Crowd-funded indie comics are doing the heavy lifting when it comes to trans and general queer diversity in erotica and romance for adults.
(There's complex reasons for this in terms of gatekeeping by cishets in publishing and because when we do write for our community, they demand better.)
There's something in Ambrosia for everyone. No doubt very dependent on your personal preferences and kinks.
Like any anthology, a mixed bag. The introductions made me happy because the stories only got so much space and I wouldn't missed certain elements of who these characters are. That said, I wish there'd be more room for the introductions to be less elaborate as we could've just learned these things in text.
I'm looking forward to reading the trans femme and non-binary companion book Nectar.
