A review by mscheriesyncere
Beauty's Release by Anne Rice, A.N. Roquelaure
5.0
If you do not "get" BDSM--or vanilla writers' interpretations of it--then don't bother with this trilogy. Anne did not get it all right; she treated BDSM like a world that you are eventually supposed to leave. I took exception to that, being a longtime member of the BDSM community.
Anne had a thing about blurring boundary lines where sexuality was concerned. That is not easy to do, and she does it well. She knew what she wanted to say, and she said it. She immortalized her fantasies without the slightest concern for other people's approval. As a fellow author, I respect that.
As usual, I adored the images that her descriptions brought to mind. And I think that the story should have ended with this book.
