Brittnee's Reviews > Rise and Divine

3.5, rounded up

Listen, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, BUT I have some bones to pick...

First of all, Dasha says there is a contemporary dance group performing at one of the spectacles, then while they're performing, she says the dancers go en pointe. *Technically*, they could be performing a contemporary pointe routine, but then they wouldn't be referred to as a contemporary company. They would be a ballet company. JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE DANCING DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN THROW IN "EN POINTE" FOR EXTRA FLAIR.

Anyways, onto my next (more egregious) point. Dasha tells Ivy that she and her sister are starring in a community theatre's production of Wicked the next month. Nope. Nada. Could never happen. Unless they're producing this show illegally, there's no way a community theatre could be doing Wicked- the rights are not available. PLUS, if Dasha was the ****lead**** in ****Wicked****, don't you think she'd be in rehearsals almost every night THE MONTH BEFORE THE SHOW????? She would not have time to be frolicking around Thistle Grove, eating demons.

Someone please explain to this editor how the arts work.

With that being said, so long, Thistle Grove! It's been a wild, spooky ride. May Belisama's power live on for generations to come.
