Laure is a Black American/French black dancer in the Paris Ballet School. Doesn't matter that she's been there since childhood or that she's been at the top of her class the last six years. Doesn't matter that her still is unmatched. She doesn't fit in and is not accepted by her peers. Directors say her look isn't a good fit for classical dance.
How does one overcome nepotism and wealth? She makes a deal with the God of Chaos. She just wants to be seen, she wants to be accepted and respected.
Laure is an unlikable character. She has a lot of anger and she's frustrating AF.
There are side characters to make up for this but we don't see more interaction until half way through the book.
This story is broken into 4 parts. Parts 1&2 were informative. Parts 3&4 are where the action comes is in. There are a few dead bodies, bully ballerinas, killer ballerinas, betrayal, and a supernatural showdown.
