Read this trilogy years ago. Had the chance to download an advance copy of this one and was curious enough to do so. I'll let you know. Meh. I guess I don't care anymore.

This book was trash and not in the good sense. I loved the previous books in this series and was so excited to get my hands on this one. It's overly full of descriptive text about bells, straps, boots, and hair accessories, but falls flat on the descriptions during the scenes that need it. The first three books in this series were written years ago, and the smut was descriptive and made you clench your knees together. She lost her touch with this book, it was boring and I almost couldn't finish it. Characters I used to love just lost their sheen, and the new characters weren't likable at all.

I read the first 3 Beauty books back in college. At the time, I thought it was good stuff back then. It was a good read and I don't regret spending the time on it, but it's not all that good. There is little plot. It just speaks over life in the kingdom from different people's perspectives. It's not exciting except for the sex and after 100 pages, that gets old.

Pretty decent sequel. I like the plot, this one had much more of a central story than the other novels did.

What can I say?
Beauty’s Kingdom wasn’t as great a read as the first three books. It lacked the heart of the trilogy. The first three books took me less than three days to read. They were exciting. Begging to be finished. This book took me a few days to get through. I didn’t want to pick it. It was a forced read.

Yes! Thank you Anne Rice for combining your masterful writing with a recreation of forced pleasure slavery to optional BDSM slave role-play. The visual imagery is stunning and this world was far less rape and for more lust.

Quite good. It wasn't as sexual as the first three books in the "trilogy" were. It focused more on specific characters and stories than just being erotic, bawdy, and sexual.

I really liked the book, but it did not go with the first three. It felt like the first one of a series or a standalone book.

If you are ever inclined to self torture read this series. You'll get curious & then hate yourself afterwards. Why doesn't the brain have an eraser of some sort, could of saved us a lot of agony.
