"Lush and lavish, Sing Me Forgotten hit all the right notes."
—Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrow

"A deliciously magical feminist twist on the beloved classic The Phantom of the Opera."
—Kester Grant, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Court of Miracles

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.

"Enchanting, lush, and decadent."
—Adalyn Grace, author of All the Stars and Teeth

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 8 Up—This absorbing fantasy is a gender-swapped twist on The Phantom of the Opera. White, red-headed Isda, 17, has lived her whole life hiding in an opera house in Channe, Vaureille. She's a gravoir, born with gnarled cheeks, with the magical ability to manipulate other people's memories when they're singing. Gravoirs are so feared, they're killed at birth. Cyril Bardin, the white manager of the opera house, saved newborn Isda from drowning. Now Isda, masked and hidden, secretly manipulates the audience's minds to praise the opera's performances, ensuring its success. A talented composer, Isda is mesmerized by the singing voice of newly hired janitor Emeric, a handsome white man too untrained to perform in the opera. Isda offers to secretly coach him so she can access his memories. She sees he had a little sister who was a powerful gravoir and was captured. Unlike gravoirs, fendoirs, also facially scarred, are tolerated because they can siphon singing people's memories. The wealthy buy the elixir of people's memories to enhance their own ability to remember the past. As Cyril uses Isda's magic to advance his career, she discovers she's more powerful than she realizes and craves the freedom she's been denied. The story's leisurely beginning ramps up to a fast-paced, action-packed ending, with some fairly intense brutality. VERDICT Readers will empathize with Isda's desire to be treated like a human being and not a monster. The bittersweet but satisfying ending remains true to the characters and their story.—Sharon Rawlins, New Jersey State Lib., Trenton

An awesome and magical YA retelling!

An awesome and magical YA retelling!
This was a wonderfully created audio! I felt completely drawn into the story. Caitlin Kelly did an excellent job narrating!I loved the characters in the story. The MC, Isda, is the secret that doesn't exist to the outside world. She hides in the underground of the opera house, and her pain was my pain. As secrets are revealed to her about her actual magical powers and the things that have been kept hidden from her, I was sad for her, angry with her, and ready to get revenge for her!I loved that this was a retelling of Phantom, but it had it's own magical system and story that really made it stand out from the original. The world building was great. There was a good balance of backstory at just the right times, while still moving the story forward. This is a perfect read for you if you enjoy YA stories with a magical system and a strong female lead!I was provided a gifted audio copy of this book for free. I am leaving my review voluntarily.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phantom of the Opera Re-Telling
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2022

LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH! So, this book is a gender-bent Phantom of the Opera retelling with a sprinkle of supernatural entities. I binged this book in four hours, and I fell in love with the romance between our protagonist and her love interest. While this is a gender-bent retelling (our female lead is the phantom), this story can stand on its own.

If I could describe this book to anybody, I would say it's HBO's "The Nevers" mixed with "Phantom of the Opera" and I was in love. The author's writing style is magnificent, and some of the quotes in this story resonate with anybody who looks at themselves in the mirror and finds errors. Isda is a super relatable character, and I love the reverse grumpy-sunshine trope in this novel! Isda is very much the grump, while our male love interest Emeric is all the sunshine in the world.

Literally obsessed with this book, and I'll forever read Jessica S. Olson books!

I have to give this book four stars because it was a phenomenal retelling! The author truly made The Phantom of the Opera into something entirely new and completely enchanting.
But devastating. I haven’t read a book this devastatingly beautiful in a while. Forbidden lovers, mysterious and dangerous magic, and ever-looming temptation mark these pages. What a whirlwind!
I’m still grappling with the ending, just to make up my mind about it but I am so conflicted! I don’t want to spoil anything, but I desperately need my friends to read this one so we can discuss and cry together 😂

I really, really enjoyed this book. The language is beautiful, the worldbuilding is very interesting—surprising but inevitable—and I even teared up at a couple of scenes, which I haven’t done for quite a long time. I was hooked from the first chapter, I love the songs, and the characters are interesting.
There were a few little flaws, like the love interest Emeric not seeming masculine enough to be realistic, and the prose seems a little too dramatic at times, but these didn’t affect my enjoyment of the book very much.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must read

Let me start off by saying when I first heard about this story on Twitter back when she did Pitch Wars I was intrigued. I have always been a fan of Phantom of the Opera. The more I learned about it the more intrigued I became. Having now read this incredible story I must say that it seriously exceeded my expectations for a retelling. I loved every moment of its wild ride. From the setting in the city of Channe, which is influenced by Paris. To the incredible characters that drove the story.

The character building and the crafting of the story really pulls you in and makes you feel like your part of the story. Especially Isda and Emeric. I was so rooting for them throughout this story. It also forces you to take a look at society and the way it treated the fendoir and gravoir. My heart broke for Isda, having to live her life like she did, always through others memories. There were times you wondered if she was really the villain everyone made her and other gravoirs out to be. By the ending my heart was in pieces for Isda.

This is an incredible story that deserves to be read and reread several times. In my heart I don’t think 5 stars does it enough justice. If I could I would rate this 10 stars in a heart beat. I look forward to more stories from this author. Lastly, I will say I cannot recommend this story enough

middle and upper grades
first-person POV (Isda)
standalone
fantasy / historical / romance

Set in an alternate France-like country in maybe the 1880's. Isda is a gravoir, a girl born with a disfigured face (making them easy to identify) and the ability to manipulate people's memories when they sing. After a trio of gravoirs took over the country and were only overthrown by a rebellion, all gravoirs are required to be "disposed of" at birth. Isda is thrown into a well as a newborn but rescued by Cyril Bardin, the owner of the Opera House, who hides her and cares for her and trains her. Now 18, Isda hides in the wings during performances and manipulates the attendee's memories so they love the performance, ensuring Cyril's income. Isda always wears black with a black mask and lives in the catacombs below the Opera House because that is where her organ fits. She longs to see the outside world - she has always lived in the shadows in the Opera House.

One night a young man with an outstanding voice, Emeric, auditions for a role as tenor but is only allowed to be the janitor because he has no formal training. Isda hears him and volunteers to train him - she is desperate to search more thoroughly through his memories because he has a younger sister who is a gravoir!

She and Emeric become close but have a spat when Emeric warns her that Cyril is not what he seems. Cyril has Isda manipulate the memories of the Council Chief, driving him mad, so Cyril can step into the role. Then Cyril throws a masquerade to celebrate but forbids Isda to attend. Emeric tries to stop her but Isda shows up, dressed in white this time. The crazed former Council Chief shows up and accidentally unmasks Isda during his rant. The crowd freaks out and Emeric saves Isda, taking her to his attic apartment, where they proclaim their love. But Cyril finds them and imprisons them. Isda is to be executed in the morning but first she must drain Emeric of all his memories save the bare minimum he needs to perform.

Isda escapes, finds Emeric's sister (who has been imprisoned by Cyril), gets Emeric the elixir with all his memories, and tears down the Opera House. At the end she removes all of Emeric's memories that involve her, even though he begs to go with her.

It's a gender-shifted Phantom of the Opera, with a little magic thrown in and more tragic romance. Isda has been searching for the mysterious catalyseur to enhance her powers - she thought it was the pendant Emeric gave her but it turns out it was Emeric himself (Like Mal with Alina in Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse). I skimmed the last third, but should appeal to the target audience.
