This was not a good book. It was both predictable and completely bonkers in the strangest ways. However, I cannot say I hated reading it. At some point, I realized that this book was exactly in my "so bad it's good" ballpark- with baffling occurrences, illogical characters, hammy dialogue, and best of all, the most odd twists on the Phantom of the Opera since Love Never Dies. Wouldn't recommend if you're a huge fan of the musical or original book, unless seeing a strange YA sequel sounds like something you could get a chuckle out of.
