Another chapter in the life of the infamous Phantom of the Opera, as penned by Gaston Leroux, continues when he leaves Paris and moves to Malta in search of a new beginning. Clothed in secrecy, he purchases The Royal Opera House in Valletta, which has been destroyed by a devastating fire. In an attempt to bury the pain of his past, the burned-out shell becomes his new obsession. He is determined to resurrect the structure from ashes and return it to glory.

To raise funds for his task, he holds a masquerade and encounters a strange woman who prophesies his destiny of undoing and death. Her words haunt the Opera Ghost, but he continues on his path of restoration. After years of hard work, the gala reopening occurs. The Phantom is convinced he has reached the pinnacle of success in his life. He rests in peace over his accomplishments.

For sheer amusement, he takes on a new student, which leads him down a path of romance, mystery, and danger. His fortune unfolds before him, and he discovers he cannot hide from those who seek retribution for his former sins. He is forced to reap the consequences and comes face-to-face with his darkest demons and fears. In the end, his insatiable hunger for beauty is challenged to the core. Will he survive the obstacles he encounters or will this finally be his undoing and death?

5,0 su 5 stelle A different look at Erik
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 17 ottobre 2010
Acquisto verificato
This author views the Phantom as a man who at first struggles to rationalize his past acts and move on, until fate forces him to face the consequences in a new way. Her Erik is very much a man rather than monster or ghost. He moves to Malta with his trusted friend Madame Giry as the new owner of The Royal Opera House. He rebuilds it as he tries to rebuild his life without Christine. Then he meets a lovely young woman with a desire to play the violin.....and a secret.

The best part of this novel are the beautifully written love scenes which manage to be incredibly erotic and yet tasteful; without the explicit descriptions that push the emotional responses away in favor of only the physical. Erik must learn to accept himself in order to accept a future that could include love and a fulfilling life. The author gives us insight as to how this acceptance is complicated by his internal scars as well as the physical deformity. The internal scars of another cause danger to both Erik's future happiness and his life. The ending may evoke images of fairy tales, But in today's difficult realities we can surely enjoy some unexpected happy endings!

4,0 su 5 stelle A Stunning Sequel

Kindle freebies carry a certain stigma. The titles are believed poorly written and horribly edited. It is sad but by and large I can't disagree with the perception. My kindle library is littered with free lit, most of which I can't claim to have particularly enjoyed. The Phantom of Valletta is an exception. I have my criticisms but they are of little consequence. Hopkins' work is fabulous.

Admittedly, my initial feelings were far different. I couldn't wrap my head around a book told from Erik's point of view. I like the Phantom's dark enigmatic persona. Leroux doesn't disclosure the full history of his character and I believe that is why after more than a hundred years the Ghost still captures our interest. He is a mystery, never fully explained.

Being inside his head, essentially wearing the mask stripped Erik of his secrets. I wasn't disappointed exactly, more like disenchanted. There is nothing inherently wrong with Hopkins' interpretation but sometimes less is more. Sometimes it is not what we know but what we don't know that leaves a greater impact.

The book really takes off with the introduction of Desiree. Again I was hesitant. The idea of Erik tutoring and molding the talents of another female student seemed repetitive and trite but I was wrong. The private young woman breathes life into the story almost the moment she appears. It is through her that Hopkins' talent shines.

Valletta's Royal Opera House provides a breathtakingly beautiful backdrop for the continued story of the Opera Ghost and the plot is wonderfully constructed. Once the story takes off it simply doesn't let you go. My only real complaint is the hasty ending. Every other aspect takes time to develop allowing the reader to digest it but the final scene is feels more like a drive by.

Sadly, The Phantom of Valletta is no longer free to download but the book is more than worth looking into. For fans of the story, this one is not to be missed.

3,0 su 5 stelle Interesting book and concept, not overly well written.

I was traveling to Valletta, Malta, and did a search on Amazon and came across this book. Since I had read another book on the Phantom, I thought this might be interesting to read and timely. It was timely and the descriptions of Valletta, while sparse, were accurate. It was interesting to read and did move me at points, toward the end, but did not find it overly well written. Interesting enough and not a waste to read it certainly, but didn't stir me the way another book on the Phantom did. It's worth a light read though.

From the Militant Recommender Book Review Blog:[...]
Christine is gone. Erik has freed her to marry Raoul. Now, alone in his lair, he despairs, feeling he must be dying of love, or the loss of it anyway. Then... an opportunity presents itself. The Royal Opera House of Valletta in Malta has been destroyed by fire and Erik decides to purchase it and give it, and himself, a new lease on life. Together with the Persian's servant, Darius, and Madame Andrea Giry, his long time friend, they will raise it from the ashes and he, Erik, the Phantom... will now have his very own Opera House to command!
This is a wonderfully original premise and very believable as you can imagine Erik's excitement at such a task no matter how daunting the destruction facing him. He has the knowledge as a world class architect to, eventually, bring his vision to life! Though it seems this jewel has been damaged almost beyond repair. Erik decides to do some fundraising and find investors to bring in the funds to make the hugely expensive reconstruction.
How he and his friends go about this makes for engaging reading. Will Erik forget Christine and move on with his life in this new place? Will anyone else ever take her place in his heart? Desiree', an opera house employee with an interest in learning the violin, perhaps? There are other surprises in store for the reading audience so get a copy of Vicki Hopkins' "Phantom of Valletta" and enjoy the pleasures of the Phantom's opera!
