But this was a lot.
The pace is absolutely breakneck, going from 0 to hardcore in literally three seconds and never letting off the accelerator. The problem is that it gets old, since there's only so many times you can jam something in a guy's butt before it's like, "this again, Anne?" And it's every paragraph. Some things occasionally hit, but there's a lot here that's filthy like trash can in the hot sun filthy, not smut filthy.
Also the language doesn't help. I had to double check when this was written because it reads even older than Lady Chatterley's Lover. I assume it was to keep the fantastical/medieval vibe, but the whole things feels like it was translate from Middle English scrolls, which jump tamps down any spice that's left.

shayh's review against another edition
The world-building and plot are structured well, but I stopped reading because there were a few kinks that didn't make sense to the plot. Kitten-play was out of place, for one.
I'm a fan of Anne Rice's work, but this one is a miss for me. I enjoyed what I could. This would have been a 3.50-star from me.
