I really liked the beginning of this book, about the viciousness and infighting at a prestigious ballet academy, but as more and more plots were added it kind of fell apart for me. 

Laure has a lot of pre-existing relationships that are described (the strained relationship with dad, the best friendship with Coralie) that don't really manifest on the page, and the new relationships are also really shallow. She also makes a bunch of ridiculous decisions that feel like they're supposed to make her seem cool (stealing a man's watch in public as both a scholarship student who needs to keep her rep and the only Black girl in the room? Come on) and the antagonist reveal comes with some cool imagery but no surprises.

We are told the whole time that magic has consequences but it's all pretty vague and we don't really see any. The language is overwrought and ridiculous. Terrible romance.
