Frazier, one set on a female-ruled planet where the power exchange is the foundation of a fantasy-themed society fueled by the magic of gems known as sugilite. If you missed my review of the first 7 installments, you can catch up here and here.
I will do my best to avoid spoilers, but if you’re new to the series, I strongly suggest you go back and start at the beginning, episode by episode, so you can appreciate the characters and how their lives are becoming so deliciously intertwined. A lot has happened at this point.
One of the aspects I wanted to address in these latest episodes is something I teased in my last review. There’s a rather – let’s say, petulant and assertive – woman whose daughter has seemed to be in a rebellious submissive phase (scandalous for such a society), but who increasingly seems less rebellious and more genuinely submissive. When you pair that with the fact that her boyfriend experiences something of a submissive awakening in these episodes, the two-sided portrayal of the ‘natural’ power exchange becomes even more fascinating.
I talked about satyrs and nymphs in my last review, but this time I have to address the long-teased, long-awaited, long-endowed futanari whose futa shakes have caused so much trouble. Of all the magical touches to the planet of Cybele, these may be my favorite. Big, buxom, and beautiful, the very well-endowed women work in colored pairs, with the erotic mixing of their colors determining the taste and color of their creamy shakes. There’s so much delicious (pun intended) detail to their scenes, it’s just a shame that poor Geo is in no condition to enjoy them.
And that brings me to the big soap opera twists of the final episodes in this first season, which I can’t say much about, but which involve Aurora, Geo, Acacia, and Petronel. There are major OMG moments here as we get answers to certain behaviors, a challenge to the natural order, and a surprise reveal that has my genderfluid soul supremely curious! There have been a lot of characters and plot threads throughout the season, but Miss Frazier really brings them together here, even as she teases so much more to come.

The first few chapters were absolutely fantastic, the first time I have ever seen a medical procedure (stitches without anaesthetic) drop a man with no BDSM experience into subspace. With that unique scene, Roos had my attention. That doctor turned out to be an experienced Dominant, a bisexual man who finds himself tempted to cross professional boundaries with this novice masochist and his beautiful wife.
What I found so genuine about this was really three things. First was Dr/Master Michael’s vulnerability, something not often seen explored in a Dominant. He desires this straight man to be his, to submit to him sexually as well as for punishment, and he is hurt time and time again by Tristan’s rejection. Second was Tristan’s conflict between submission and desire, between love for his wife, respect for their Master, and fear of his own hard limits. It would have been all too easy to just have him suddenly declare himself bisexual, but the story makes him earn that self-revelation. Last is Judith’s awkward position between the two men, wanting them both, loving them both, and wanting to bring them together. She is not a selfish cuckoldress or a wanton slut, but a housewife who is navigating a new kind of polyamorous BDSM relationship.
The emotional element of Michael was fantastic, and the power exchange was beautifully done, with as many scenes of bondage and punishment as exhibitionism and voyeurism. Just an altogether lovely, realistic, romantic work of polyamorous power exchange erotica.

The themes of magic, flowers, and submission were wonderful, with imagery and language to match. There's a strong message here about believing in magic, and Steli makes you want to believe.
The slow progression from a fateful meeting to a second meeting, into teasing seduction, and ultimately into a relationship was very well done. It's not an altogether happy story-there are some dark thoughts, emotions, fears, and self-esteem issues-but it earns that darkness and pays off in the end....more

The story was very well done, visceral and intense, and does a wonderful job job of evoking emotion. I loved Kate's reaction to seeing Flora and Brad together, and how that evolved into some lesbian seduction (and gentle domination). Whew, hot!
Without getting into spoiler territory, the key moments for me were when the women (a) recognized their power, (b) understood that far more than just cheating was going on here, and (c) took that power back from the man who had so cruelly used them. This is a story of dark justice, and your discomfort level likely depends on how wrong you think Brad is.
A secondary note, I loved the way Steli had one of the characters identify as ace, especially since I was just chatting with a Domme the other day about how needing kink to enjoy sex is a form of being ace. This definitely fits the definition....more
