Another book I don't know what to think about.
It's a retelling of the ballet, and that story is somewhat stupid. Mercedes manages to keep the spirit of the ballet, there are scenes that are written from the ballet, I can see the scene in my mind. :-D
This is written from Odile's POV.
Mercedes also wrote a different end to the story. I am not too happy about that. So, Odile kills her father, and moves to live in Odette's household, stripping the wizard's mansion and gave everything away. Or most of it, anyway. It felt forced.
So, people die, happily ever after! YAY!
