Creepy and moving
I have so many thoughts running through my head after reading this book. First off, this cover is gorgeous and creepy and perfectly represents the story. The title is so good too.
The narrator did such a great job with the narration. I found myself really feeling the emotion and totally creeped out multiple times. She did a great job differentiating the voices for the many different characters.
This debut novel is like nothing I’ve read before. A dark, complex look into the world of ballet. The writing is poetic and descriptive in the best way. It really helped to set the atmosphere, which I think is really important in any horror novel. I immediately felt for the FMC, Laure and the racism and classism she faced. Her desire to be the best and prove herself at any cost made her the perfect target the evil god. I don’t want to give too much away when it comes to those aspects of the story.
Overall, a gripping novel that I think readers who enjoy complex characters, moral dilemma, and the dance will enjoy. Looking forward to the next book in the duology.
