This book was enthralling. It was a short read, and progresses quickly. I enjoyed the writing style but found some things quite repetitive. Breasts are mentioned in almost every chapter, and the same few phrases are repeated several times. Other than the pacing and weird obsession with breasts, I found this book engaging with a beautiful writing style and would recommend this to others that love a grim fairy tale. Check trigger warnings before reading as body horror tends to come up a lot.

A juicy, gothic tale. Herein lies an abundance of flesh, magic, ballet, and monsters.

So wonderfully weird and macabre!!! Literally couldn’t put it down. I love a book that gives me anxiety.
