Why read it?
1 author picked Phantom as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book may fall more under dark fantasy and the adventure it takes you on is more emotionally invested rather than swords and sorcery.
But I love origin stories and Kay does a fantastic job creating a world with tragic heartbreak and undying love. This book is based on The Phantom of the Opera and delves deeper into Erik’s origins and how he came to haunt the opera house.
It’s fantasy because while based in reality, the author also weaves a subtle magic that takes us on an adventure into the far reaches of a dark genius’ mind.
From E.A.'s list on fantasy and sci-fi to take you on an adventure.
