Beauty's Release - book discontinued - reviews

This is absolutely my favorite book in the trilogy. Anne Rice is a favorite of mine, but she lost me on book two. She redeemed herself in my eyes with this one. It is more compelling in both the sexual experience and the growth of the characters involved.

If you have already read the first two segments of this story, then you absolutely have to finish it. Both of the first novels leave you with a cliffhanger, and this one finally completes the journey. The ending was not what I expected and was slightly disappointing, but it was still a great read. Anne Rice does her job delivering kinky BDSM throughout the story yet again.

Does Beauty ever get married? Does Laurent get to be a pony for years? Does Nicolas get back his most precious slave? All of these questions are answered in the third and final book.

This wraps up Beauty's half assed saga. If you somehow got trapped into thinking the first two books would lead into something decent to end with, you're in for the saddest shock of your life. If you do pick up this series, try not to give it too much energy or else you WILL be let down.

This series of books by Anne Rice was attention grasping and entertaining for me to read. I loved all three books and kind of wish there were more. Alas, all good things must come to an end.

This is a worthwhile read to wrap up the tale. It is, however, more of the same and some of the scenes are boring by comparison to the other books. I would recommend this book to anyone who has read the other two and wants to know how it all ends.

In the third and final installment in Anne Rice’s Sleeping Beauty trilogy, Princess Beauty and some of her fellow slaves are kidnapped by bandits and brought to a seductive Sultan in a faraway land. Not surprisingly, more spankings ensue. Read this book to complete the series and discover each character’s own happily ever after. You might not walk away from it sexually fulfilled, but the story will stay with you long after the pages have been closed.
