This book was requested by a previous Lesbrary reviewer who did not finish or review it. In order to keep my Netgalley feedback up to date, I am submitting this review marking it as a DNF, though it was another reviewer who requested this.
Small Favors was a surprise, in every aspect. I was impressed by what it had to offer. Both the idea behind this graphic novel, and the art featured are amazing. It's funny and at moments touching, but what it is most of is original. I really liked the style of the art which seemed almost innocent, despite the nature of the story-line. The book is a lesbian erotica all about being silly and finding joy in sex. There's no real plot to speak of, just women enjoying themselves and others in a happy series of orgies and ridiculousness. It embraces a vibrant sexuality for women, and there is not a single male character in the book (not even in the backgrounds!).
This was charming & adorable & I totally forgot was a NetGalley title & that I needed to provide feedback.
I must not have read the description of the book upon my original request. I was not expecting this book and it is not something I would enjoy personally.
Small Favors is a charming series that I read (and purchased) many years ago and am very excited to see being re-released! Small Favors is a smutty comic, but don't let that lead you to believe it's not also very sweet and full of love! Highly recommend it for my fellow ladysmut fans.
Received a free review copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Sorry, this book - sex comic didn't grab my fancy at all. While I recognise that it will interest some, I just found it to be comic smut.
I loved these comics when they came out and I'm delighted they finally received a nice collection. Of all the types of erotic material out there, and there are so, so many, possibly the smallest category is funny erotica that is sexy, not abusive, and Small Favors is at the top of the list. Buy this. Quiickly.
Very imaginative and quite an exciting book. Read it in barely 10 minutes so ti was pretty quick.
Unfortunately, I DNFed this book in the first 15%. It just didn't grab my attention.
An okay book, just not quite what I was expecting. I prefer a little more of a story line. This is a graphic novel/book and should be viewed as such.
I was unable to read this before it was archived. Sorry!
hot, cute, funny girly porn? yes, please. though I would vote for less vegetables in the vagina.
I received a free copy of this from the publisher on netgalley.
A hardcore lesbian porno romp is the last thing I expected in my pile of reviews. The art is good and I'm sure if you're interested it will get your rocks off.
I don't consider myself a prude, but this one was a little over the top for me.
The art style was pretty good but I just expected for a more development on the plot side, I don't know.
Still a fun comic to take a look at.
Rating: 2.5/5 stars
The original story a woman who masturbates too much and is sentenced by her conscience to behave with more purity, but then ends up in a very sexual affair with one aspect of her conscience was definitely a unique twist. However, I wish the following stories had a little more substance in them. The artwork was amazingly drawn, but the stories themselves were just too ridiculous. I realize that's probably a trope with porn-related comics, but I personally prefer a bit more story.
So this is what I get when I don't read book descriptions. Didn't make it farther than a few pages. Apparently this is a porn collection. And it's heavy from the beginning. Just not what I'm in the mood for, Plus there was no build up. Just look, there it is. No thank you.
I downloaded it by accident and curiously opened it. I washed my eyes with bleach it was that bad....
I thought this was a beautiful erotic comic that would be a great addition the the "adult" section of a bookstore with a large graphic novel section or a dedicated comic book store.
Annie's all about some self-love... so much so that a personification of her conscious steps up and assigns her a keeper in the form of the adorable (and just as horny) Nibbil! Abundant sexy adventures ensue. The graphic novel beautifully inked, and near the end we get a story in absolutely gorgeous watercolor.
This one came up in NetGalley almost right after I'd talked about sexy comics/graphic novels at Arisia... and man do I wish I had known about this one before the panel. In itself, the story isn't fantasy where you get magic and elves, but a contemporary setting with just a hint of the fantastic in the form of anthropomorphic representation of a character's inner self. However, for the other meaning of fantasy... yeah, this book is all that. Small Favors proudly wears the label of "critically-acclaimed girly porno comic." It's a fun and creative celebration of sexual fantasy and affection.
Also, it is kind of adorably cheeky.
A lesbian who can’t stop with the self-loving is told to cut it out—there’s a lifetime allotment of masturbation? Wonder if there’s an actual number (asking for a friend)—and is given a helpful little blonde imp to keep her fingers and dildos in check. Little Nibbel is also helpful in letting me know the next section is a dream sequence, so thank you! Plus she’s really cute, incredibly funny in her naiveté. She’s the best part of this, playing a big part in the story, as well as defining the title.
For me the other best part was how the author wasn’t afraid to break the fourth wall of get meta. Something as simple as “Bet you had to shower after that one!” makes for a big guffaw. Even when the author doesn’t know where to go with the plot we’ll get a line like “Who was that girl on page 104?” I thought it was the neighbor, but I guess I was overthinking it. And I also wondered who was taking the photos.
Very explicit sex is depicted, which is for the most part fine, though I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that, had it been a man taking her so roughly rather than a blonde pixie with a strap-on, there’d be all kinds of protests. There’s a small interlude of Nibbel doing herself on a lightbulb that made me laugh so much. Spaghetti and wooden spoons just got a lot more sexy, but it helps if you have a Barbie-sized pixie playmate. And the safari story was extra hilarious, along with the dramatic cry of, “Alas, we are exposed!”
There’s about 15 pages of early sketches and outtakes at the end, the best feautring Nibbel playing Rock ‘em Sock ‘em. . . better yet, Nibbel being playfully attacked by the dialogue bubbles. . .
Most of it is done in simple black and white sketches, quite effective. When it at a certain point turns to color, it’s a little jarring.
It’s a fun read, if nothing else because it treats sex, especially lesbian sex, as fun. Another reviewer nailed it by calling this “innocent and lighthearted.”
