Not as captivating as the first two books in the series. This short book fills in the backstory of Fermin the rascal and the forestory of Daniel Martin the pulp fiction writer. Builds on the previous books but doesn't stand alone and doesn't seem finished. Still liked reading it though!

Esta es, hasta ahora, mi novela favorita del ciclo de El cementerio de los libros olvidados. Me ha encantado. Supone una continuación y unión maravillosa de las dos novelas anteriores y nos hace avanzar y seguir conociendo a los personajes. El autor afirmaba que son historias autoconclusivas, pero creo que para disfrutar de esta es imprescindible leer los dos anteriores (especialmente el primero). En esta se nota que es una novela puente, y que por eso no tiene una trama tan profunda ni una historia propia tan contundente como las anteriores, pero es una novela de personajes maravillosa.
Eso sí, sigo echando de menos es conocer más a Bea, que es más un complemento del protagonista y su hijo que un personaje con entidad propia, lo que me da un poco de rabia.
Empezaré la siguiente novela con ganas gracias a esta, y espero que la siguiente me ayude a cerrar del todo la trama, especialmente resolviendo las incógnitas que nos dejó la segunda novela.

An excellent sequel to The Shadow of the Wind. This book mostly follows the fortunes of Fermín Romero de Torres from way before he met Daniel to some decades after. I don't want to say too much because the story is too rich to describe. But if you're following The Cemetery of Forgotten Books you must include this one. And if you're not following the series you should!
