## Emma's take

Beauty's final captivity is her most indulgent surrender yet.

This is the closing volume of Anne Rice's erotic Sleeping Beauty trilogy, written as A. N. Roquelaure, and it carries Beauty's story into the Eastern Sultan's harem for its resolution. Readers already invested in the series click for this ending; those just discovering Rice's erotica are better served starting with Beauty's Kingdom or the earlier volumes, since this one assumes that history. Best read slowly, a chapter or two at a sitting, the way the trilogy's own rich, patient prose seems to ask for.

## Frequently asked questions

## Do I need to read the earlier Sleeping Beauty books first?

Beauty's Release is the final volume in Anne Rice's erotic Sleeping Beauty trilogy, so some context carries over from Beauty's Kingdom and the earlier books. New readers can start here, but the harem intrigue lands harder with the full series behind it.

## Who wrote Beauty's Release?

Anne Rice, the author of Interview With the Vampire, wrote this novel under the pen name A. N. Roquelaure. It's the closing chapter of her adult retelling of Sleeping Beauty.

## Is this book meant to be read in one sitting or a few chapters at a time?

At 256 pages of dense, sensuous prose, most readers pace themselves over several sittings. The chapters hold up well read in pieces, since each scene builds its own tension.

## How should I store the paperback so it holds up?

Keep it flat or upright on a shelf out of direct sun, the same as any paperback. A bookmark beats a dog-eared page if you want the spine to last.

## Does this book pair well with the rest of the series?

It completes the trilogy that began with The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty and continued through Beauty's Kingdom, so it reads best as the final chapter, not a standalone.
