This book is somewhere between “Fifty Shades” and the works of the Marquis de Sade. While I haven’t read any of the “Fifty Shades” books, I doubt that the claim is true. There was a cover blurb on the version I read that says “If you liked 50 Shades, you’ll love the sleeping beauty trilogy.” This statement is clearly meant to capitalize on the success of those books. Part of the reason that there may be misunderstandings of what this book is, is how it’s been marketed. In essence, Sleeping Beauty enters into a finite period of sexual slavery (technically more sexual indentured servitude) in repayment for her rescue. That’s probably true for you, but for the run-of-the-mill reader, it’s pretty wild stuff.
If you’re a hard-core sado-masochist, you may object that this isn’t so intense in subject matter. Since one may associate the fairy tale with lighthearted stories, many readers won’t be ready for the wide-ranging sexual and sadistic activity that goes on in this book. There are many such adult-targeted books based on children’s fairy tales, but the reader should be particularly aware of the nature of this story because it’s fairly hard-core.
This is a bawdy take on the tale of Sleeping Beauty-and, in particular, the aftermath of her rescue and awakening.
