i was really liking the first part pf the book and then i was completely confused about anything that was happening, what happened to the main girly and raoul, and the ghost and their weird toxic love triangle, and then a persian that was somehow narrating, and then they were trapped in a maze pf some sort, i dont even know what happened, maybe ill give it a relisten some other time because now wasnt the right time

I had a real problem with how impotent the protagonists were. Everyone was so useless until he introduces a new hero in the third act. I liked that the potential for the supernatural always lingered and seemed reasonable while still staying grounded in reality. I also liked the characterization of the phantom but I would rather have not had to wait so long to get there. The writing was generally nice and could be very captivating but the resolution felt weak and unearned.

every single person in this book should go to therapy

This was such an interesting and fun read. Theatricality is so much in the forefront. I honestly felt like a spectator watching a stage performance. I particularly enjoyed the descriptions of the Opera house itself.
