An exploitive, at times gruesome, tale of a super-human amazon and her search for love and revenge.

Genre: Science Fiction (Post-apocalypse, Mutants)
Synopsis: Sheryl is a warrior of Somelon, the society of legendary super-strong and beautiful women. Roaming the deserted world filled with mutated humans, she hunts her arch-enemies, the cruel and deadly Horlas, who were responsible for the death of her mother. When the Horlas kidnap her lover, the gentle Kio, Sheryl chases the Horlas to their fortress. There, she will come face to face with the misery the Horlas inflict, show her own brutality and learn painful secrets about her own past.
Full Review: This is a superficial tale filled with cartoonish fighting, as well as sex and torture. The science/fantasy background is pretty vague. Barely a step above soft-core pornography, it may provide a few hours of mild entertainment.
Overall: 3.5; Plot: 4; Characters: 4; Style: 3.5; World-building: 3.5; Originality: 4;
