Labyrinth of the Spirits by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

April 4, 2019 by Mrs Smith Reads Leave a Comment

Labyrinth of the Spirits is the fourth and final novel in the Cemetery of Forgotten Books series by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. It’s a fitting end to an enjoyable series, and does an admirable job of gathering up all the loose threads of the three previous books. Like The Shadow of the Wind, The Angel’s Game and The Prisoner of Heaven, Labyrinth of the Spirits tells a magical mystery story of the dark days of Franco’s Fascist Spain. It does not disappoint in the telling of the story, and I was (mostly) engrossed […]

Episode 1-39: Marvel Doesn’t Care About Black Humor

October 16, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/10/16/episode-1-39-marvel-doesnt-care-about-black-humor/ Wherein I review: 146. The Labyrinth of Spirits (The Cemetery of Forgotten Books #4) by Carlos Ruiz Zafon 147. Lethal White (Cormoran Strike #4) by Robert Galbraith 148. Ambush (Michael Bennett #11) by James Patterson The Cemetery of Forgotten Books adds more blocks to the every growing library.  JK Rowling always does great relationships, and does procedurals as well as wizarding.  And Ten is Enough the Cop puts up a lackluster murder involving the Canadian Mob vs the Mexican Cartels. Also, I bitch a […]

Just because you can write a 1000 page book doesn’t mean you have to…

El laberinto de los espíritus (literally, The Labyrinth of the Spirits) is the fourth book in the saga of The Cemetery of Forgotten Books by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. This saga started  in 2001 with The Shadow of the Wind, followed by The Angel’s Game and The Prisoner of Heaven. All three books take place in Barcelona, in the aftermath of the Civil War. If you are not familiar with them, I recommend you get your hands on a copy of The Shadow of the Wind […]

I just finished The Shadow of the Wind after a full day of reading. Having already read the other two books in The Cemetery of Forgotten Books series published so far, I had essentially worked backwards to finish with Carlos Ruiz Zafón’s beginning story.  At 487 pages it’s a long, glorious read, jam packed with plot, sub-plots and enough twists and turns to keep readers engrossed to the final page. The Shadow of the Wind introduces Daniel Sempere, the son of an antiquarian bookseller, growing […]

The Angel’s Game: Barcelona as You’ve Never Imagined

May 20, 2014 by Mrs Smith Reads Leave a Comment

  It was a dark and stormy night… As funny as it might seem to echo the opening sentence of Snoopy’s novel in the Peanuts cartoons, it’s an apt description of the atmosphere and ambience of Carlos Ruiz Záfon’s second novel in the Cemetery of Forgotten Books series, The Angel’s Game. For anyone who has ever spent time in Barcelona and remembers it as being a sunny, youthful and vibrant place, Záfon imbues his Barcelona of the 1930s as a dolorous, dark and mysterious city full of […]
