I received an ARC through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
As someone who loves The Phantom of the Opera, I knew I had to read this since it sounded so much like it. And I enjoyed the story. Not my favorite retelling, but it was very good and engaging. I like how the story stuck relatively close to the original text, all while making the story its own thing with the world and the reasons behind it. I'd definitely read this again and check out more from this author!
