I received an e-arc copy of the following via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
Several of my friends are OBSESSED with Phantom of the Opera. I know the story, I've heard the musical, and I STILL found this a confusing mess to follow along with. I usually love retellings, but this one tried to tell the story exactly, with every characters, with very few words, and a mix of emoji pictogram and text message. Emoji's for each character were given a name in the beginning, but never referred to by name again, only by picture, and as I read this on Adobe Editions, it made it very hard to follow as I couldn't flip back and forth. I sort of loathe the emoji-everting craze, so I probably should have expected this. I didn't really get all the way through it, just skimmed to the end. You may like it if you like these sorts of emoji-story things, but I didn't. It is really nice visually, and its certainly creative, I'll give that.
