sleepydahlias 's review for:

A Treachery of Swans by A.B. Poranek
3.0

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I do not know the story of Swan Lake well enough to comment on the accuracy of a retelling, however, from a first introduction, it was interesting but not amazing. The twists were expected (from someone who doesn't know the story) and I wanted more of the relationship between Odile and Marie. I also didn't really feel connected to the characters, especially Odile, she didn't feel like she had any depth, just her need for acceptance driving the story. I do think that the atmosphere was wonderfully built and overall it was an easy read to get through.
