what does a Kings Mage even do? There is a prince and a King in this AU Paris but they don't do anything except be Fox Executives for this fucked up American Idol.

They're in a building which probably has bandages. He peels off his entire shirt and reaches into the basket for a jar of honey and dabs it on her wounds. He then uses his shirt as bandages. What in the 80s bodice ripper business is happening.

And does honey really work like that?

She keeps saying she is doing this for her father... but what was her father doing? Anything? what was his point in the story? she keeps mentioning him and he just seems like some weird turning point for her being bad instead of some actual basis to be bad. How can I understand a characters reasons if I don't understand THE reason?

I think I hate myself and my love for Phantom. It keeps bringing this trash to me.

Oh what's this, a dude in the competition has the name Ramin. And one has the name Gerard.

The groan I made is a foghorn that sounds like Russell Crowe.

Lets break it down: this is an opera house. But there are magicians. Young adults competing to be prime magician for some king... where music / singing makes magic... but nobody sings opera... and ballet dancers are magic wielders too? But girl says the only form of magic is music? so how the fuck and why the fuck a ballet dancer wants to win this tournament?

I feel like this was a stripped PotO ff.

He laughs, sighs, and speaks in musical terms. Like "His voice was pianissimo". what? she "dreams in trebble clef".

How do books like this get published, and other good writers get passed over?

'His voice was a rumble of thunder dipped in honey. It was a timpani roll, an articulation of the cello.'

what the hell does this mean?

Ugh. Throwing around music terminology anywhere you want is not making this book look smart.

Then. Why does she want to make people sing that blood comes out of their mouth?

Why is the magic not making sense? Where the fuck are we? Monarchy? Paris? Alt. Universe Paris? Epic Universe? This world building is fucking me up.

This is this years Dance of the Starlit Sea 2.0

This takes place in a fictional world... that somehow uses French names like "L'Opera Magnifique". Bitch. If this ain't France keep the language out of these characters fucking mouths.
