It reads a bit like a ballet fanfiction, where every famous ballet person of the era has been crammed into this book and is interacting with her OC's but I ultimately thought that the ballet flavor of it won me over. A bit thriller, a bit romance, a large amount historical fiction, there are some creepy scenes near the climax, and it has I think too many plot threads that it doesn't quite wrap up, but I enjoyed reading about the sisters in the book. It wasn't mindblowing, but I didn't regret it at all.

Interesting and enjoyable. The last 15-20% of the books was not as good plot wise to me.
