Beauty's Punishment by Anne Rice, A.N. Roquelaure

dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.5

So I liked this book better than the last only for Tristans POV! The fact that his povs are written in first person helped me connect with him better than Beauty and the other characters. I was getting his thoughts and feelings first hand. Beauty, as much as I liked her in the first book, ended up annoying me in this one. I guess I got irritated with her airhead ways. I was tired of hearing her just take everything and not care about anything else. The first one she was interesting because she had a rebellious streak that I loved. This one not so much. And I'm unsure I really care for that ending and reading more about the sexcapades. Still like the writing, though, as Anne really knows how to stimulate the imagination.
