Rating:  Summary: quite explicit in book three of this series Review: As a new Royo fan, I ordered all three of the Prohibited books at once, so I was quite surprised at the increasing level of graphic sex depicted as the book numbers progressed. I would love to say this book's art makes up for this, but most are watercolour-type sketches. I would not advise Royo fans not to buy it, but please understand that the penetrations are not hidden/implied as in the other books. New fans should consider Secrets & Malefic first b/c not many--if any--of these prints will be on posters. I keep it shelved and enjoy the rest of his other books, except Women (which is worse than this b/c it simply does not represent the mature Royo we love---merely the Royo as cover artist who evolved to whom we now admire), when I want to browse his art.
Rating:  Summary: Great for private veiwing. Review: But if your like me you tend to leave books lying around and carrying them places, I would recommend not having this book around others who are not likeminded. This was quite a big shift from Prohibited 2. The book contains a story which is slighty diffrent from the last one in that is goes along with the pictures. The story however, are more explict than that of 1 or 2. The quality of the art is improved, there are no longer sketches, but there are also no longer pieces such as the "The Flight IV" of 2.
Rating:  Summary: What's going on with royo?!? Review: Everyone's favorite fantasy artist seems to have been going through some things lately. His last three books, of the Prohibited trilogy, have been skirting from fantasy to smut. We all know Royo is an excellent artist in his genre ( or even out of his genre), but the last three, and especially Prohibited 3, are pretty..uh..graphic. His ability is undeniable, but his subject matter in the Prohibited series makes me a tad uncomfortable. (...)
