A review by kaylyncatherine
Phantom by Susan Kay
3.0
Although I was not a fan of Kay's style and voice, I did appreciate this novel. Susan Kay is well versed in Phantom of the Opera, more than I expected from Leroux's original work itself.
However, when Kay began to pick up where Phantom of the Opera begins, I lost interest. Phantom of the Opera is my favorite novel..let's say I have that story down to a T. I did not appreciate the creative license she took with the characters, warping their relationships mildly and straying from the original novel.
I must give her credit though, she created a marvelous, emotional back story to Phantom that Leroux kept hiding from us.
