Query: Very disappointing

I am not a romance junkie nor a regular Steel reader. I bought this book in the hopes of finding something different and exciting, a glimpse into the world of Russian ballet training, along with a tender love story. I got neither.To me this was an outline of what could have been a great book with only a few of the scenes developed.Much of the action, including Danina's entire training at the ballet, was summarized in a few narrative paragraphs.I never formed a bond with any of the characters nor could I "feel" for them because they never became real to me. Except for a few scenes most of the integral conversation and description that should have lead to that bond was merely reported on not shown in detail.Ms. Steel forgot the elemental rule of fiction writing, don't tell, show. Make each scene come alive with detail and conversation.It's a shame because this COULD have been a great book if it had been written correctly.
