A chain of fantastical folk tales unfolds across a world of slaves and kings, potions, demons, betrayals, and desire. Dreamlike and deliberately adult, it presents a mysterious, liberating journey through love and lust in many forms, with loosely connected stories that drift from one encounter to the next.

About
If you enjoy surreal, adult folk-tale anthologies with erotic themes and a freewheeling, episodic structure, this may work for you; Not for you if you want comfort viewing or are sensitive to exploitative content like in The Canterbury Tales.
Pros: dreamlike folk-tale vibe; exotic, varied stories | Cons: disturbing sexual content; troubling age dynamics; uneven, episodic flow
