Sing Me Forgotten
Sing Me Forgotten | Jessica S. Olson
12 posts | 8 read | 23 to read
Isda does not exist. At least not beyond the opulent walls of the opera house. Cast into a well at birth for being one of the magical few who can manipulate memories when people sing, she was saved by Cyril, the opera house's owner. Since that day, he has given her sanctuary from the murderous world outside. All he asks in return is that she use her power to keep ticket sales high--and that she stay out of sight. For if anyone discovers she survived, Isda and Cyril would pay with their lives. But Isda breaks Cyril's cardinal rule when she meets Emeric Rodin, a charming boy who throws her quiet, solitary life out of balance. His voice is unlike any she's ever heard, but the real shock comes when she finds in his memories hints of a way to finally break free of her gilded prison. Haunted by this possibility, Isda spends more and more time with Emeric, searching for answers in his music and his past. But the price of freedom is steeper than Isda could ever know. For even as she struggles with her growing feelings for Emeric, she learns that in order to take charge of her own destiny, she must become the monster the world tried to drown in the first place.

This is a hauntingly beautiful gender-swap retelling of The Phantom of the Opera. It‘s the best one I have read to date. The world Jessica Olson creates is a cruel as it is lovely. Isda is a strong main character, and her relationship with Emeric is a gem. Unlike its title, this story will linger in my memory long after I turned the last page.

This is reminiscent of the phantom of the opera. This time it is a female. The story is a magical tale of the gold elixir, singing and going into the memories of the singers. All of this magic is used to make the opera successful and draw more ticket sales. Eventually, things go awry and the monster is unleashed. I like this retelling. It is different and original. 3.5⭐

Thank you #Netgalley for this ARC.

While the Phantom of the Opera influence exists, Sing Me Forgotten is seductively unique and compelling. It brings fragments of the original‘s inspiration into the tale, but proves alluring in its own special way. If any aspect of this book appeals to you, I urge you to get your hands on a copy as soon as you are able!

But that‘s the problem with believing. It doesn‘t guarantee truth.

“But that organ makes me feel less alone. It speaks my language. Every time I play it, it‘s like I‘m sharing a part of myself with it, and it‘s giving me something in return.”

“Candy is terrible for the voice,” I say.

“Ah, but Isda, it does wonders for the soul.”

I mean, he‘s not wrong. Candy does make my soul happy.
