EPIC ROMANCE, September 1, 2010 By Debra Fair – See all my reviews This review is from: Chanson de l’Ange, Book 1: The Bleeding Rose- An Epic Retelling of Phantom of the Opera (Paperback) Run, dont walk to your nearest bookstore and buy this book. This is the best Phantom book I have read so far. I have read them all. The author weaves a story that keeps you begging for more. I especially loved her detail in describing the costumes, the opera house, the city. But most of all she gets into the minds of the characters and you feel what they feel. I cant wait for the second book. Brava!!

Brava, Brava, Bravisma!!
As Erik said of Christine both in the movie and this book. I use it now to sing praises for this lovely novel. It is a thick book. It is very frustrating when you realize you have to put this back down and sleep for a night before picking it up again. You do not want to stop reading.

It was as if my eyes were glued to each twist and turn of young Christine Daae’s life.

You also feel both Erik and Raoul’s pain.

Neither Raoul nor Erik are made perfect, Neither seem like the only choice. Christine has valid reasons why she cares for each of them. You as a reader will care for them both as well.

One offers more stability and one offers more passion.
One is calm and serene. One can go through a myriad of emotions in a matter of seconds.

Christine herself is a contradiction. She is pure of body, but her mind and heart want to know grow great passion. Comforted by Raoul’s hugs, tempted by Erik’s. She is truly torn.

What engagement ring will she wear Erik’s or Raoul’s? Who shall father her children? Will it be the man who eases her mind or the one that stirs her heart?

If you miss this tale you will be sorry.
This is book one in a two part series. I cannot wait to read book two.

I’ve really loved this book, the story between Erik and Christine is so well written that I felt their emotions as they were my own. I can’t wait to read the second book!

Brilliantly coloring the classic story of The Phantom of the Opera, Stewart paints a passionate picture of each of her characters. As she delves deeply into their psyches, her readers begin to understand Christine’s confusion and the thought processes and memories that shape Erik’s trend toward madness. Ms. Stewart has a knack for describing deep emotions in a way that readers can relate. I was so moved that I actually felt Erik’s heartbreak and became angry with Christine for her indecisiveness. Slap to forehead – must remember these characters are fictional!

Chanson de l’Ange, Book One: The Bleeding Rose, defines the term “page-turner,” and is a must read for all Phantom of the Opera phans. Waiting for Book Two will be difficult. Write fast, Paisley Swan Stewart, your audience is rapt!

If you love the story of the Phantom of the Opera, you will absolutely love this book. Paisley Swan Stewart takes you behind the scenes of the bohemian world of The Paris Opera House through the eyes of ten year old orphan, Christine Daae. I became a fan of the story after watching Joel Schumacher’s “The Phantom of the Opera” with Gerard Butler in the starring role and I always thought that Christine should have chosen the Phantom over Raoul and was angry when she betrayed her Angel of Music. With this book, I found myself sympathizing, and sometimes empathizing with Christine; I came to understand her and why she made the decisions she did regarding the two men she loved. I enjoyed this book from start to finish and I look forward to Ms. Stewart’s next book, The Angel’s Song.

I cannot begin to describe how this incredible this book is. It’s very detailed and makes you believe you are actually there in the story. I must say I almost passed up this story, I was not looking for any more Phantom stories to read. One look of the cover and I was fascinated by the cover and wanted to know more, so I looked at the reviews and it great reviews and I realized I must have this book, along with soon-to-be Book 2. This is a retelling of The Phantom of the Opera detailing the love triangle betwenn Christine Daae and her two loves: Erik/Phantom and Raoul de Changy. You will find that in this suspensful and romantic story that Christine has two choose between a life of security and caring with Raoul or a life of passion and soul binding music with Erik. As the story progesses you find yourself not wanting to put it down and wanting to know Christine’s choices. I highly suggest that any Phantom fans out there don’t pass up this book, Miss Swan has written a fine story and should be read by adoring Phantom fans and fans of romance as well!!!! It’s worth your time!!!!! ~Ariel~

This is a beautifully written book which delves into the mind of the young girl, Christine, as she struggles to cope with the loss of her father and to adjust to life in the Paris Opera House. There, she is befriended by the ballet mistress, Madame Giry and her daughter, Meg. We also see the development of Christine’s relationship with the mysterious Angel of Music (Erik) who becomes her teacher and mentor.

Later, we see Christine as a beautiful young woman, torn between her love for Raoul, her childhood sweetheart with whom she has become reacquainted at the Opera House, and Erik, her Angel of Music.

Erik must cope with his past as he struggles with his changing feelings over time for Christine.

Once started, this book is almost impossible to put down, and I can’t wait for book 2!
