3.0 out of 5 stars Very good - but can be bettered, 10 Aug 2000
By A Customer
I enjoyed the Beauty trilogy too and agree with an earlier reviewer that it has an ongoing eroticised element and some effective punishment scenes. But, for this reader, there's too much preamble between the punishments. You have to read for a long time to actually reach a climax and can end up skim reading page after page. I think that Sarah Veitch is better value - she'll have erotic whipping, caning, effective talking down and forced-to-strip-in-public humiliation in a single chapter whereas in some of the Beauty books you have page after page where a man is simply crawling about picking things up.

Anne Rice also had some horrible scenes where a man is covered in household rubbish etc whereas in a Sarah Veitch book the submissives are treated well when they are not being severely corrected. Anne said on Oprah and in Playboy that she has no interest in actually trying CP - and this lack of experience sometimes shows in her writing whereas Sarah is a practicing submissive who has written numerous articles about how to have safe and arousing BDSM.

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best B&D erotica ever written!, 23 Jan 2000
By Stephen C. Coyle (Annandale, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If a better book about sexual slavery has ever been written I've never read it! Roquelaure's book drips with lust and never lets go of your libido. The slaves in this book are all young and gorgeous and kept naked at all times. The punishments are painful and humiliating, but erotic at the same time. A slave is never able to forget that his/her place is to be a sexual plaything of free men/free women. The writing is extremely vivid and you feel as if you're really THERE in this fantasy village with erotic slave auctions, the tents where anyone with a few copper coins can sodomize any young prince or princess on display, the place of public punishment and stables with the pony boys. If the village the A. Roquelaure wrote about existed in real life there would be a waiting list with a 12 year backlog of people waiting to get in!

1.0 out of 5 stars Frothy and insubstantial, 4 Jun 2001
By A Customer
I can't believe that I actually finished reading this book! Very tedious - hardly any plot to speak of and certainly no depth to any of the characters. The main characters are all interchangeable and it is impossible to sympathise with any of them, let alone care what happens to them. I had hoped that the pace would pick up a little after the first book, but was to be sadly disappointed. I don't think I shall be bothering with the final book of the trilogy- I really don't care what happens to the tedious and irritating Beauty.
