Summary: 5 Stars
The author has truly captured the characters we are all familiar with. She has made us care, answered our questions, and touched the hearts of those who truly love Phantom of the Opera. This is a must read and I look forward to any sequel she chooses to write.Book Review: The Phantoms Legacy/ Stunning and beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book expecting to enjoy it as I love Phantom of the Opera fan stories but not really believing it could be more than a usual read. I was absolutely glued to this book. If ever they make a movie to be a sequal to the 2004 film...this is the book that should be the script. I loved it. It makes dear Erik, Meg,Christine, Raoul and all the beloved characters of this original play come to life and live a life that I dreamed of for them. I was so moved by this story. It's sensitivity and beauty was wonderful and I felt I knew them, was there with them living through each year that Erik struggled and faced his demons of the soul. I was totally satisfied and pleased with this Authors conception of the aftermath of the Opera house disaster and the turns in the lives of the main characters in the story. To tell the story would spoil it for you, but Believe me...this book is well worth your time and your money. It holds a high place of honor on my bookshelf. Wonderful!!!!Book Review: The rest of the story!
Summary: 5 Stars
Phantom's Legacy begins where the movie ended, filling in the intervening years between Erik's release of Christine and the scene of Raoul in the graveyard. We are given a story that spans 48 years and interweaves the lives of the main characters in a satisfying way. And what a story Epps gives us! This fast-paced, well written book is the story of how a tragedy, like the opera house fire, can cause a lasting, positive effect on the lives and families of 4 people: Christine, Meg, Raoul and Erik. War, love, redemption, and healing are a few of the themes this tale encompasses. The energy with which it begins is sustained throughout, and my only complaint is the length of time (in years) that it takes for Erik to find and accept the steadfast love offered to him at the beginning of the story. But then, I am a hopeless romantic. This "flaw" did not negatively impact my enjoyment of this love story. Ms. Epps makes no secret of the fact that she wrote this story with the actors of POTO in mind. This in no way detracts from the story, in fact, it made it easier for me to visualize these interesting characters. Read it; it is well-worth your time.Book Review: The story as we all wished it could have happened!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this is my favorite Phantom novel! I absolutely loved what the author has done with all the characters! Having Erik tell the story in his very own words makes it so special for me! You get to know all the characters so well...you feel as if you are living their story with them! Erik is so in touch with himself in this one! With him telling the story...you are inside his head and he is finally able to feel love! I have never shed a tear in any of the other Phantom books but in this one...I did! I loved what the author has done with this much told story...and she manages to answer questions that have been left unanswered! You finish this book being completely satisfied...knowing all of the characters have found love and peace in their lives!Book Review: Well written and researched.
Summary: 5 Stars
Phantom's Legacy is a superbly written and researched novel. The author, Ms. Epps, has done her homework and produced an infallible piece of history, intertwined with one of the most romantic stories ever told. She keeps her characters true and decent in a market where a plethora of romance novels quickly turn distastefully to smut. The unpredictability of her characters actions, leaves more to the imagination and quickly increases the suspense of the book. ANYONE who loves Gaston LeRoux and his original little piece of work, will love this novel as well. The author obviously put her heart into her work, and a good heart it is--it shows in her character's feelings and in the way she has put this beautiful story to words--with tact and wonderful grace.
