Plot Summary
With hunger and lust in Garnet's eyes, all she could do was stare at her master; a guy with no prospects in life but more importantly, no desire for her. Merely a few weeks before, Garnet had been a guy named Garry. He'd stopped by his girlfriend's ex's apartment to grab a box of leftover stuff, when he'd touched something he shouldn't have. Newly transformed into a powerful succubus, Garnet must contend with her new succubus-driven desires for her master and her insatiable need for sustenance. But when her master is unwilling to provide for her and gets frustrated with her attempts to get what she needs from his friends, Garnet must discover why her master is acting this way, or risk being driven mad by her boundless and unfulfilled lust.
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on September 2, 2022
Gary thought he was doing his girlfriend a favour, but being curious isn’t the best of ideas. Now a succubus called Garnet, she finds herself with a master that is a bore, a need she can’t shake and a mystery to unravel. Perhaps being more curious will solve the problem. Or it might make it worse still.
The work is mainly a tale of self-discovery for the main character which adds in a gender and succubus transformation on the edges. Mainly a narrative of what Garnet is experiencing, the story holds onto her frustrations and attempts to find what she needs. It’s involved, there’s a lot of character building which works quite well.
Garnet, the succubus of the work, appears physically very much like a stereotypical succubus. She isn’t evil however, though she is driven, demanding and incessant in her need to figure herself out. That’s quite interesting as the peek within her thoughts as to what is happening does tell more than the overall story does otherwise.
The gender and succubus transformation really isn’t explored at all. It’s mentioned in passing, seen as something long done and past, and really not worth dwelling on for Garnet. I think that’s a shame as seeing what the moments after were for her would I think have brought more flavour to the story and some needed depth to what happened to her.
The narrative, much like the dialogue, is rather dry at times. It’s sort of like someone being interviewed about something and not being really interested in what’s happening. Given that Garnet is very much distracted, and the focus of her ire at times is something of a brick wall, that does make sense in the context of the story.
It’s in the moments when Garnet is trying to figure things out, discovers a way to solve her issues that the story gained some passion and was really interesting. I’m not quite sure that how things turned out towards the end of the story worked as well as I’d hoped when they started however. It’s a bit too quick of a resolution, a little too expected and rote in some ways as well.
There’s some plot threads that are left unanswered, a very large one in particular that I wanted even a small reference to, but it didn’t appear. Still, the focus is on Garnet finding an answer and that did come out when the story came to the climax.
Three and a half out of five pitchforks.
I think the one thing that bothers me is the flat tone of the dialogue. I’d have liked to see some passion in Garnet’s words most of all. I really liked the slow burn of mental and emotional changes that were described, some passion would have I think made this a better read. The work ends in an interesting place, perhaps in the parts left open there’s something more to be told in the future. It might be interesting to see.
