The second in the Sleeping Beauty Series, Rice takes us further into the psyche of young Beauty and her quest to discover her own sexuality and desires. From wanting to please the Prince to disobeying and being sent to the Village, we begin to understand the duality of the master/slave relationship and how at some point a slave must rebel to be fulfilled in his or her desires for subjugation. Beautifully well written with careful detail shown to the acts being carried out, without being lurid or vulgar. Rice does a phenomenal job of rewriting this classic fairy tale.
To address the issue of Beauty's menstrual cycle, I say this - suspension of disbelief. It is, after all, fantasy.
Not for the faint of heart or anyone not comfortable with their own sexuality or desires.
