Phantom does not hurt animals

The phantom is not/ was not a cat killer. I hated this book. It had such potential until that.

A poor interpretation of a magnificently complex character

I purchased this in earnest; desiring a new interpretation of a beloved story. Sadly, this novella suffers from the same lack of understanding and limitations that many younger/edgelord authors possess. I’m nearly a three decade veteran of the POTO phandom in all its myriad incarnations, and this book was sadly one of the most disappointing.

Erik’s arbitrary cruelties are out of place and out of character, particularly when accounting for the ALW musical’s canon as basis. There are moments that one has hope for the narrative, but the author frequently subverts those or entirely derails m by interjecting random bouts of in opportune and frankly out of character violence and inappropriateness.

If you have the credit to spare and there’s nothing else to tempt you on your wishlist, by all means, spend a credit for this audiobook.
