Fascinating. I really love books and movies about the ballet world, and this was no exception. I love the bitchiness and the competition, the only thing that I felt was lacking was some more of the details of the actual dancing - everything is set up for the Nutcracker story in Act I, and then all of a sudden it skips forward to the following season. The same with Cassie's story, I would like to have seen that more developed (a prequel maybe?). I sometimes get a little frustrated with multiple viewpoints, but they felt ok here. Bette was the perfect villian. (view spoiler)[I did find the details about who was causing all the trouble a bit confusing though - it was made clear that Bette was not responsible for everything, but this wasn't resolved. (hide spoiler)] I would have liked more focus on Will and Eleanor...perhaps we will see more in the sequel. I also found it hard to understand Henri's motivation. 
 I jumped straight online after finishing to see if the sequel is out yet, but unfortunately it's not. I will pre-order it in hardcover though, and grab a hardcover copy of this one while I'm at it, as I like to have a shelf copy of books I enjoy (I read the kindle version which was on sale thanks to bookbub's notifications).
