The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice
2.0
2.5 stars ?
TBH, I was hoping for something hot. I think only the first scene where the Prince raped Beauty did that (and even that was very... short and bleh. like a wham bam, you're welcome you owe me so now you're my slave). He took her back to his kingdom where a lot of Princes and Princesses were just casually turned into slaves for the Prince's mummy, the Queen and other members of the court. It's an erotica but it was very lackluster. The characters were boring, the Prince and Beauty were like dry pieces of wood. Beauty had another "love interest" Prince Alexei and he had this god awful long ass monologue at the end where he droned on and on and on about his enslavement. I think more characters had long ass monologues too. This book was just not well written.
Was there any plot? Don't think so.
