A review by middenprincess
The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice

3.0

grotesquely erotic. first half was actually kind of good if you are someone with cnc fantasies and the grimms fairytale itself was already quite dark. it just devolved towards the end and i got sick of the dialogue between the other prince and beauty, it got awfully repetitive. i think exploring the taboo in fiction is necessary but don’t read this if you aren’t a fan of the heavily fetishized dark themes
