The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the beginning (first 2 chapters) was weird for me. It seemed like it was trying too hard to liken Isda to OG Phantom, and I almost didn’t continue. But once I got past that, I was so glad I did because I loved the story.
Isda is flawed and I love that for her. Emeric is kinda annoying in the beginning of their friendship but it makes sense with his characterization. His lightness to her darkness.
Give this a read!! (ESPECIALLY if you loved Phantom)

📚 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.
