The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice

2.0

This book definitely makes you go "Wow", but not necessarily in a good way. The vocabulary is repetitive, the actions of the plot have no driving force and things just happen for the sake of asking "is this going to far." And the answer is yes. The torment and punishments scenes, while not overly offensive, go a bit too far of the grid for my tastes. There are some good moments and generally intriguing behavior responses happen to the characters, but a lot of the scenarios and writing styles are laughable. And it's got me interested enough to finish out the series, so that's saying something.
