Summary: Great sequel!
Comment: Beauty's Punishment is the continuation of The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, Anne Rice's erotic retelling of the popular fairy tale. In the second installment, Beauty is punished for having rebelled against the Prince. She, along with Prince Tristan, an insubordinate slave and object of Beauty's desire, is auctioned, captivated and subjected to the most erotic, tantalizing and cruel games of domination and submission. Again, Anne Rice does an excellent job in illustrating the psychological implications of the human desire. She also does a splendid job in taking the course of the story to unexpected turns...
There are various differences between The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty and its sequel. In Beauty's Punishment, the language is less fanciful and more explicit. Also, Prince Tristan is the focal character in this book -- thus, making Beauty seem as though she were a secondary character at times. And I noticed that the erotic scenes are far steamier this time. The changes are brilliant, for it makes the story meatier -- so to speak.
I am duly impressed with Ms. Rice's ecstatic imagination and excellent prose. This is erotica at its literary best! I can't wait to know what happens to Beauty and Tristan in the conclusion of this (so far) memorable trilogy!

Summary: You must suffer and serve before you can rule
Comment: You must suffer and serve before you can rule, and suffer she does. For her insubordination, Beauty is sent to be sold a slave in a village. Rice continues her erotic description of BDSM torments from The Capture of Sleeping Beauty. By now she has fallen in love with the handsome Prince Tristan. His torments are also followed in this second book. Erotic slaves do menial labor, cleaning and scrubbing, act as horses pulling carts, and or course are whipped and sexually tortured regularly for the erotic pleasure of the master. It's a classic of erotic BDSM fiction. You might as well buy all three to start with.

Summary: Much Better than the First¿..
Comment: I was compelled to read this sequel to 'The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty'; I had already bought all the books. Although the first one was disappointing from a character stand point I was not disappointed in the topic matter only the delivery. This second book is much more deliberate in its telling of Beauty and Tristian, a fellow slave.
This book seems to concentrate on the trial and tribulations of Tristian rather than our Beauty. Both Beauty and Tristian are disobedient slaves exiled to a near village for an extended punishment at the hands of everyday villagers skilled in the art of domination and submission.
The journey both Beauty and Tristian take is more than the physical and sexual nature but of a psychological tale of submission, understanding, and acceptance of the situation with in them and around them.
This second book was filled with acts of cruelty, desire, and satisfaction, but can be best described as Fantasy Erotica at its purist.
