This was a weird book. Yes this is erotica but it's VERY heavy on the bondage and submission, there are very few "typical" scenes and of those none are exactly consensual.  The writing itself wasn't very good either, I've only read one other Anne Rice book so I don't know if this is her typical writing style. She definitely overuses the words "little", "balls", and "spank" a lot. The biggest ick was when Rice makes a point of saying that some of the princes and princesses who are enslaved are 15/16 years old. I won't be reading the remaining books.
