It's been decades since I've read it, so I wasn't sure if I remembered that part correctly or I would have mentioned it. I recall another part where one of the princes gets raped that was really messed up as well. And just a lot of rape in general in that book that I thought was gross. I recall really being disturbed by it more than I was by The Clan of the Cave Bear because the latter presented the rape of Ayla (as a child) in an intentionally gross, traumatic and disturbing way, while Anne Rice wrote the rape of Beauty in an erotic way.

Anyway, both books frequent banned books lists. I read many banned books during my time at the bookstore.
