Plotwist oli mieletön, vaikka hetki meni sitä ymmärtäessä. Jännittävä, koukuttava baletin maailmaan sijoittuva teos.
This is gripping and completely unhinged in the best possible way.

It has taken me 4 months to read this book. I found it very long and tedious, it started well, then just dipped for me, it picks up in the second half. It’s a decent story but I just found the writing hard to get immersed into.
I love the metaphor and nuances that the plot of Swan Lake share with the plot of this book. The black/ white, the good/ evil, the “shadow swan”. The parallels throughout the text make for a very engaging, twisty thriller with the ballet as a perfect backdrop.
A wonderfully captivating psychological thriller with great characters and lots of secrets and twists and turns that keeps misleading the reader . Highly recommend !

Not the direction I was expecting! (especially from the blurb) More literary than a typical thriller but definitely built the tension although very slowly and I did find it quite confusing by the end. Too much exposition of the ballet process at the start but I actually didn't mind for once - made the start feel like a behind the scenes documentary which I liked
