A review by bkish
Beauty's Kingdom by A.N. Roquelaure
4.0
Read few pages and I read her other books in this series. It is Very erotic and I adore Anne Rice as a writer. I do not like the subject of punishing women. I will continue reading this book.
I finished it. This is an amazing book. It is very deliberate I think by Anne Rice to create a world where the usual distinctions of male and female are gone. At some point in my reading I let go of evaluating the okayness of the punishments. I included it in the world she built here in Bellavalten or Beauty's Kingdom. Rather than evaluate the premise of slaves there to serve I just accepted that and continued to read and to enjoy. this is a very sexual book and I mean very.
If I accept this fantasy world there is nothing to criticize since it is as always with Anne Rice beautifully written.
The idea of men as men and as women is very provactive and almost shocking. A man cannot have that which is woman's feature.. A woman cannot have what belongs to me. She undoes all of that in so many ways.
After completing this book I was almost depleted and yet very at peace while also very stimulated. I wanted to return it to our Public Library in San Francisco so the next person on the waiting list could have this opportunity
I want to say tho that this book Beauty's Kingdom is not for everyone. It was for me though...
