I loved the Music of the Night. It was captivating from start to finish with it's inspiration of Phantom of the Opera giving it a very gothic musical theatre feel.
I thought the use of the story as a base to build upon had it feeling like it could have been part of that world easily. It was well done and the story that Angela J. Ford crafted was solid and only uses the Phantom of the Opera as almost a setting and feel rather than a retelling.

I thought how the music played such an important roll in the story was fun and just ft the vibe of the book so well. I also thought most of the characters were good with Aria and Uriah stealing the show with all their interactions being something that Both Aria and I were keen to happen. 

Upon finishing this book I'm happy to say that there is series and the other books all sound just as interesting and fun. I cannot wait to get to them.
