Summary

In the final volume of Anne Rice's erotic trilogy, Beauty's adventures on the dark side of sexuality make her the bound captive of an Eastern Sultan and a prisoner in the exotic confines of the harem. As this voluptuous adult fairy tale moves toward conclusion, all of Beauty's encounters with myriad variations of sexual fantasy are presented in a sensuous, rich prose that intensifies this exquisite rendition of Love's secret world and makes the Beauty series an incomparable study of erotica. In it, Anne Rice makes the forbidden side of passion a doorway into the hidden regions of the psyche and the heart.

Disappointed

While the first two books in the Beauty trilogy were primarily about the title character, this one seemed to be primarily about the male characters. For me, an occasional foray into domination of the boys (almost always by men) was accepted (and occasionally quite enjoyable), it became tedious, then irritating after a while.
Perhaps that element could have been made into a different book, leaving this one to continue with the main theme.
