I had written a spinoff story about Phantom of the Opera, which is, Memory. Wait...why are you mentioning this? Ah! That's because this is an opera retelling! Not a once upon a time! The story itself is quite similar to the original opera, except that we no longer had a silly princess, which I suppose that's Mozart's mind of princess, and a Queen of the Night, who destined to be evil. No, the story has two loveable females! Wait, no, that's three...I almost forget Papagina. (Is that how it spells? I'm not sure, at least sound like that.) Mina is the daughter of sun and moon, the combination of both. For her entire childhood, she lived with her mother, until her sixteenth birthday. Yet, her father broke his oath and took her before the night, which made her mother extremely furious. And then the princess...blablabla. I love how Cameron gave Mina a strong personality, like her mother and father. She would rather follow her heart and disobey her father. And no, the Lord of Sun wasn't as mighty as he seemed in the original opera. He had his own grievances, but he kind of deal with it with a wrong way. He hurt not only one, but three. In Cameron's stories, you can see that marriage isn't always perfect, like there are quarrels, fight, disagreements...and lots of lots of things to conquer. So it's no so happily ever after...to sum up. Oh! And I want to introduce an interesting character to you as well! Not the price or Papagino in the opera, but Papagina. In the original story, she came out of nowhere, yet in this story, she was adopted by the Lord of Sun. and when the time comes, after I realize it was the retelling of The Magic Flute, I was like "Oh my god! That's her, she was definitely Papagina!" as it turns out, I'm right! And she was smart in this story, not like the one in...yes, the opera, which seemed only appear to be a wife. 
 I love how the story was managed and how it goes. The evil might not seemed to be so hateful, and the good one might not be so great all the time. I gave it three stars, as it gives all the females characters a new sight. But it doesn't wow me that much, so, sorry, no four stars...
