This book is not about consensual nonconsent, it is not sexy. It is literally about rape and brainwashing, and everyone -literally everyone - fails the female main character. It is the epitome of what is wrong with everything everywhere, and is exhausting and depressing as all f*** to read. It did nothing but disgust and anger me.

Prince awakens Beauty, not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is Beauty's complete and total enslavement to him ... as Anne Rice explores the world of erotic yearning and fantasy in a classic that becomes, with her skillful pen, a compelling experience.

Ok not 🚫 for me. 

Al principio le iba a poner una estrella sola, pero pensé que eso es a lo que apuntaba la Anne rice cuando escribió eso: polémica al estilo "Salo" de Pasolini 

La verdad ya cuando andan denigrando gente así y violando desde la primera escena debería haberlo sabido pero ALV. Tengo los tres y voy a terminar esto aunque me tenga que pasar lavandina en la cabeza pa borrar tanta escena Hardcore y deshumanizante.
