It was a fairly standard story. There were a few surprises, but seemed formulaic. The artwork was outstanding.

I received a copy of Executive Assistant Iris through NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Executive Assistant Iris is one of those series that has an absolutely fantastic core concept. Think about it; an assistant that was trained to do basically everything. Iris can be anything from secretary to bodyguard, all the way to assassin (which sounds a bit more proactive than usual, but no complaints here). Unfortunately the series so far hasn’t had the best follow through on that core concept. It’s been interesting and fun to read in that there has been lots of exciting fight scenes. But those scenes don’t really have any impact because I haven’t been given a reason to care too much about Iris or those around her.
I do think that this series is still worth watching, because the concept is sound and there’s always a chance that things could turn from okay to absolutely amazing. Personally, I’m rooting for this one.

Not quite sure how I feel about this. But Iris is in the tradition of kick ass women. I'm not sure if there is going to be exotic sexualization or not.

2,5/5. Everything's great... except the plot. I mean, it's well illustrated, the main character is bad-ass and sexy, full of clichés, but good enough to be entertaining and it has good and strong action. Unfortunately there is mostly no plot just a bunch of idea/concept/action scene put together with some «back-story» to make it look deep. It was still a brain-off entertainment, but nothing to make me want to know more about the character or to continue the series.

A subservient woman becomes an assassin. Smart move gurl.
The artist’s rendering of faces is weird. Why do they all look bizarre, grotesquely human?
Oh, slut shaming, joy ☹ And the women all boobs and ass, ug.
Is this a geisha fantasy?
All the women look alike. Can I even finish this?
And we have woman on woman violence. Please make it stop.
As an intelligent female, I am not the target demographic for this. Ladies, don’t waste your time on this male fantasy cheese.

In honour of Administrative Professionals Day, and because I have recently taken up the position of Executive Assistant again, I decided I should finally read this.
