I've devoured this book in a day of listening! Bondage is my first love when it comes to kink so having a book that elevates it to the art form it is instead of quick ties to a bedpost has me giddy with delight. Even though the book is steeped with "sex magic" the scenes are realistic to the point where anyone who is in the BDSM scene or interested can visualize what is happening to the people and feel that "it could be them". I would be lying if I didn't place myself in the role of one or two of the characters. Cannot wait to listen to the sequel Jujun and also purchase hard copies of both books! Keep writing Graydancer you have a new follower and that is not brainwashing!

Not being a part of the larger BDSM community and knowing little to nothing about rope art, I was a tad bit skeptical before I read this book. Would I be able to relate? Would I even understand any of the feelings and sensations that come in this community? The sort answer to all of that and more is a definitive "Yes!". Most important to me when I am reading erotica is how the characters are portrayed, especially the womyn. The strength that Graydancer gives the womyn in this story is on par with how I feel womyn should be in erotica. Submissive is not stupid nor is it weak and Graydancer's story illustrates this beautifully. The "scenes" are hot to say the least and for the first time ever made me want to explore the world of a submissive. There are some points when, even one who is a reader of fantasy, the story makes you take a step back. Not in horror or revulsion but in simple, "Holy shit did I get that right?" Then you realize you did and you smile at how Graydancer's mind must work. The book is involving and erotic in a way that traditional erotica wishes it could be. I highly recommend you purchase this book and await the sequel eagerly... Salome

I quickly devoured the first five chapters and am waiting in tingling anticipation for more. I?m not much of a fiction reader (listener), mainly because I?m very particular. Nawashi. What can I say about this story so far? I?m completely and utterly hooked. It contains two of my favourite topics?BDSM (specifically bondage?even more importantly?Japanese bondage) and magic. Sure, I have read my share of non-fiction books and articles about both?separately and together, but never have found any fiction that addresses the topics so well, so naturally, so believably. Usually when these topics intermingle in some of the fiction I have been sent or stumbled across, they are too far into the fantasy?it seems TOO mystical or TOO far outside of the realm of the believable. However, this story, I find myself not having to suspend my disbelief too far, if at all at times. THAT is the kind of fiction I enjoy. Unlike Lochai, I do not know Graydancer, save the name being mentioned to me by respected friends in the community who have attended workshops/panels presented by him, or a friend who recently met him (who believes we?d get along fabulously). I know of him, but don?t know him, but if Brian is any bit like him, I know if I ever met him, we?d probably talk for hours on end. The story (so far) is powerful, well written, and well presented. One complaint I have with many audio books is the reader. If it?s not a good voice, I just can?t continue?it completely ruins the story for me. However, Graydancer has a wonderful voice that sweeps you along on the journey. I cannot wait to see where this story will go and what will happen next. Truly fantastic so far.
