Thank you for this story! Can't believe just one more. Hoping Erik has some happiness again!

Ouch! This was harsh! Poor Erik!

This was a really great Erik/Charles chapter, thank you! I hope Erik continues to get better, some independence he desperately needs, reward for all he's been through!

Yay! He woke up! He knew Christine, and french! He was "awake" in his mind and escaped his prison there, even if just for a time! Thank God for Rosalind, love her! The doc...not so much! Good job figuring out Erik's problem, or at least a big part of it, but wtf is with you! Lol. Thanks, great story so far!

Oh wow! Poor poor Erik! And everyone else too! So sad, I wasn't expecting Erik to be in such an extreme state! And 2 years later...ouch. Here's hoping! Very interesting first chapter!

I like how the main characters met each other, I love the plot and everything about this book. Good job writer! If you have some great stories like this one, you can publish it on Novel Star, just submit your story to hardy novelstar. top or joye novelstar. top

CrystalRei should quit.

Now onto the actual review:
Just outside the door, Wright stood amongst a crowd of gentlemen engaged in a discussion concerning the lecture. He did not notice as a solitary figure hovered in silence on the edge of the crowd. Minutes ticked by until at long last the gentlemen excused themselves for refreshments just down the hallway. Only then did he glance to his left to discover her presence.

He has a black heart. :(

This novel was such an emotional one, but I suppose I should have known better seeing as how the first word of the title is "lament". Though it hurt me to see Erik struggle with so much in this novel, I thought it was beautifully written. The development of Erik and even Charles is very well done. I'm really looking forward to the final novel...please allow Erik to just rest in peace at the end, let him find stability and contentment, he deserves it.

And finally Charles understands... not that he ever really could have before he saw with his own eyes just how his father struggled.. and yet Erik still managed to come out the other side.

Aww look at dear Erik playing matchmaker for his love struck son...so adorable.

Erik will me immortal because, despite everything he has been through, he has yet to succumb to death's final embrace...I don't want to think of our favorite musical genius being gone and it seems Damrosch agrees with me :) too bad Erik really couldn't be immortal...it would be interesting for the rest of the world if he were haha. Anyways, your writing is amazing and I've enjoyed your take on life after the Paris Opera, I look forward to finishing this story and progressing to your fifth novel. Though it's been hard to see Erik endure more pain and suffering after he finally seemed to have everything he ever wanted, I love that he only grows stronger with each challenge. I love seeing Christine, Nadir and Charles grow with him as well.

And there's that neurosurgeon God complex, good thing Erik can still knock an arrogant man down a few pegs.

So Carnegie bought the violin! Either he was the highest bidder in the auction or he somehow managed to buy it back.

If I remember correctly Erik and Carnegie had some quarrel in the past? This seems to be overcome by both of them now. It is good that Charles now knows what his father did for him. This will repair their relationship better than anything else.

Now Erik is not afraid someone might see the scars on his wrists, he is just happy to have the violin back.

It is really a merry Christmas for them, I guess.

Will you start publishing your next story next week?

What a happy surprise ending. Thank you. Looking forward to Book Five and its travails.

Oh, I hope you post the next installment soon! Can't wait!
