📚 SING ME FORGOTTEN is a gender-swapped retelling of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA with a magical world layered in.
📚 I absolutely tore through it despite never having seen or listened to PHANTOM - Isda and Emeric's stories are so compelling.
📚 I loved how music and memory were at play in this story, and how precious both those things were to the main characters, if for different reasons.
📚 Though the world was built out enough to serve the story, I would have loved to see more of the country (a fictionalized version of France) and how fendoirs and the elixir market worked in everyday life.
