A review by goldensisyphus
The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by A.N. Roquelaure, Anne Rice

Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.

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.
