Beauty's Kingdom by A.N. Roquelaure
1.0
A couple of weeks ago I received ‘Beauty’s Kingdom’. I never heard of this author or this book before so I was really curious what this book would be about. This book is the fourth book in the Sleeping Beauty series, but can be read as a standalone.
Well, this is a hard review for me to write. I don’t know really where to begin. I don’t come across many books that I didn’t really like but this book was unfortunately one of them. I haven’t read the first three books in the series so I can’t say if the previous books are any good. But this book was just not it for me. It’s an erotic novel. And although I don’t mind reading erotic romance novels, and even enjoy some of them.. this book misses the romance and is only based on the erotic side. That is my opinion at least. There are pleasure slaves, there’s punishment and whipping and I just felt horrible while reading this book, so I quit reading when I was half way true. I just couldn’t continue any more. The story just didn’t get to me.
Although I love the concept of a story which is based on a fairytale, just like this one is based on Sleeping Beauty, this was just not a fun story for me. I didn’t like the characters at all and I found the idea of pleasure slaves just horrible.
I know there are many fans of Anne Rice that read her erotic series, but this just wasn’t the story for me.
Anne Rice’s writing style is good and I can see she is a good writer but honestly I wouldn’t recommend this book. Especially if you’re not into erotic novels. I feel sad to have to write this about a book, but since I promised an honest review.. here it is.
