Review Roundup

Anne Rice's The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, written under the pseudonym A.N. Roquelaure, is a provocative retelling of the classic fairy tale. It is praised for its lush prose and rich, imaginative world-building. However, the explicit erotic content and themes of submission may not appeal to all readers, with some finding it disturbing. Overall, it's a bold, controversial work that sparks strong reactions.
