![]() Isda is known as a gravoir, and she has the ability to manipulate people’s memories when they sing. This is not a simple retelling of The Phantom of the Opera – this is its own story, with beloved characters and twists that you won’t see coming. However, while Olson does a great job paying homage to the original source material, she does an even more amazing job of creating her own story. ![]() There’s a grand chandelier, a masquerade ball, and of course the lair under the opera house. However, I will say that I think certain moments will carry more meaning if you are, simply because you’ll recognize the homage to the original when they occur. You don’t have to be a fan of The Phantom of the Opera to enjoy Sing Me Forgotten – not by a long shot. ![]() ![]() And Olson blew every single one of those away with this incredible book. I definitely am a fan – of the original book by Gaston Leroux, of the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, of the 2004 movie based on said musical – so as soon as I read the premise for Sing Me Forgotten, I had high expectations. Sing Me Forgotten is such an amazing story, especially if you’re a fan of The Phantom of the Opera. “Meet me in the darkness, meet me in the light” ![]()
