Beauty's Kingdom

Title: Beauty's Kingdom
Author: Anne Rice's, writing as A. N. Roquelaure
Series: A continuation of the Sleeping Beauty Trilogy
Copyright: Hardback
Source: Library

published description: When the great queen is reported dead, Beauty and Laurent return to the kingdom they left twenty years before. Beauty agrees to take the throne, but she insists that all erotic servitude be voluntary. Countless eager princes, princesses, lords, ladies, and commoners journey to Beauty’s realm, where she and her husband usher in a new era of desire, longing, and ecstasy.

So, I saw it on the 'new releases' shelf at the library and thought what the hell. I read the trilogy and admit I was curious as to where it would go. It was interesting... I found I was interested to find out what happened to some of the characters, others I really didn't care. There were some surprises with what happened to some of them and how some of them turned out. The descriptions of the changes in the kingdom were really luxurious and some of the scenes were pretty hot. So, I guess short story is - not a big wow but, not totally wasted time or anything either.
