booknotes_athina's review against another edition
5.0
This is another Carlos Ruiz Zafon book that I loved. The Midnight Palace is one of the first books that the author wrote and it is the 2nd book in the Niebla (Fog) trilogy but it reads as a standalone.
It takes place in Calcutta, India in the early 20th century and we follow Ben and his friends.
I loved the writing style and I really liked the characters and the story. My only complaint would be that the magic should have been explained more.
Despite that , I still loved it!

Otra de las primeras historias que escribió Zafón más enfocadas a la literatura juvenil, con una sobredosis de intriga y misterio, pero que puede leer cualquiera me ha gustado un poquito menos que el anterior (el príncipe de la niebla) pero la historia de Ben y Seehre es tan entrañable y dinámica que te hace sumergirte de lleno en su aventura y acompañarles para descubrir la maldición que va tras ellos. Muy recomendable para iniciarse en la lectura o para pasar un buen rato descubriendo los secretos que guarda este libro.

super disgustada porque no he disfrutado apenas de este libro... admito que no paraba de compararlo con el primero pero es que tampoco me sentía para nada conectada con la historia

Dos estrellas porque la escritura está a la altura, aunque la historia es aburrida como ella sola.
No es lo mejor que he leído de Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
