Fine Print Volume 3

Fine Print #3

by Stjepan Šejić

In Volume 3 of FINE PRINT (aka "Why sex with gods is NOT a good idea"), we dive in deep and discover that not all winged things are angels, not all horned ones bring damnation, and surprise-surprise, no amount of unbridled bliss can actually solve your problems.

Like any painkiller, bliss only takes you so far.

This is a lesson that unlucky-in-love Lauren Thomas is going to have to learn the hard way, despite the aid of some of the underworld's foremost incubi. Even in Lauren's unique position - having divine entities at your romantic beck and call - wrestling with the past is no one's idea of a good time. Not that things are any easier for the immortals in Lauren's orbit; whether you execute contracts or shoot heart-shaped arrows, interpersonal dynamics always end up complicating things.

Strap in, everyone – this is where it gets miserable.

Sexy people have way too little sex and talk way too much.

There's a plot in here, and I can follow it at times, but it is all tangled up with dozens of characters, some of whom have changed their names at various points, with new ones still being introduced in large quantities even in this, the third volume. Mostly they are Greek gods, but there are some Egyptian ones popping in, and there are also a bunch of regular humans -- some on the path to becoming more than human thanks to a weird contract system and godly interference. And this is in a shared universe with the Punderworld title, so those folks can show up anytime too.

But did I mention everyone looks sexy and they occasionally have sex?

So, yeah, I don't understand this series, but I'll be back for the next volume.

Okay, I tried again in a desperate attempt to reconnect with the series, but vol 3 has all the same issues as vol 2. I expect and understand this sort of meandering, nothing-is-really-about-anything, infinite-set-up-without-payoff approach with serials, especially when they have really unforgiving deadlines, but I really think this is Sejic's storytelling style (and besides, as far as I understand, he's writing this on his own release schedule?).

It also sucks that these characters often shift critical design elements and even sexes, because that is a really cool aspect!!I like his design sensibilities!!but his severe sameface syndrome makes me always wonder, wait, do I know this character? Or is this yet another woman who looks IDENTICAL to every other woman (lol @ the cubi in the final chapter, it's staged like a reveal but I was like, do I know this girl, or...?). He has great control of expressions and body language, his characters often pulling funny and very human faces, but they ALL make the same distinct expressions. This vol gave him some opportunities to make some more monstrous designs, which were very cool, but even those all ended up looking the exact same. Sigh, just disappointed. Can I have the worldbuilding notes?

Illustrations are made even more gorgeous! I really love the designs for the monsters and the gods' divine forms (Raphaela and Aluria's were favorites holy shit such attention to detail) and the Parallels chapter was amazing even though there was a hint to what might happen featured in a panel prior to ending. IYKYK

My favorite thing about this series is the contradictions. We have cubi who desire love but can only bring pleasure and depravity, and yet they're the ones who seem to understand how equality works in relationships (both around equal consent and equal positions in the dynamic). On the other hand, we have the cupids who crave debauchery but can only bring affection and submission, and yet they're the ones who can't seem to grasp how a relationship works without blindly losing themselves to their significant other. The contradictory nature is what keeps this whole plot interesting. Lauren and Matthew's story is highly raw and relatable. I love how we have divine beings with purely human flaws and seeing how they move on and avoid their messy exes is truly entertaining to read.

This continues to surprise me because the plot really is THAT DEEP. I love how the style and substance are equally fulfilling and would love to have the next volume ASAP!

I really wanted to like this Volume more than I did. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed both previously released Fine Print volumes as well as all of Sunstone.

Vol. 3 unfortunately felt far too disjointed for me to be fully engaged with an ever growing list of characters. I wanted more of Lauren and the Cubi and less Gods vs underlings dynamics every other chapter.

I can see the vision and the setup for a grander arch with Sejic alluding to a 9 book story and ties with his wife’s Punderworld series focusing on Hades and Persephone, but this volume unfortunately fell into the trap of feeling like mostly setup with little payoff.

I’m still eager for future volumes and hopeful when pieces mesh together with those future entires I’ll be able to reflect back more fondly on this book. But at the moment, it’s a bit of a disappointment story wise.

At the very least, the art will pull you along to keep turning the page, even if it’s not all your cup of tea…or tentacle.

Happily, the time between volumes 2 and 3 was not as long 1 to 2. The author note says we're about 1/3 of the way through the story so let's hope the volumes come out a little faster. I really like this series. I love just about every character introduced. *Sigh* I suppose if I have to wait years for the next volume, that'd be okay.

Another great volume I loved it! The plot thickens hehehe
I like all the characters, I do hope Apollo's visions won’t happen and everybody lives and is happy with their SO!
Fingers crossed!! XD
