O Labirinto dos Espíritos by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

rpych2's review against another edition

5.0

Aside from the previous book, The Cemetery of Forgotten Books was an excellent series. And this was an incredible finale, and possibly the best in the series. All of the stories that were at the forefront of the first three books were intertwined into this classic of a finale, with old favorites and new characters embarking on a more adventurous and mysterious story than the others. Part of that was that one of the fantastic new main characters, Alicia, was part of the secret police investigating the disappearance of a minister from the previous entries. The best character in the series, Fermin, returns in a very important role as well, which was great to see because he’s a delight in every scene. This series is an absolute must read.

This was absolutely astonishing!
This book was perfect and a worthy conclusion to what is the greatest book series I've ever read.The new characters were a great addition to the world of the cemetery of forgotten books and, as always Zafon managed to create a mind blowing narrative which will leave no one indifferent.This series is definitely a must read for everyone and one i will never forget.

At 800 pages it took me a while to finish and I think it could have used more judicious editing. But I loved meeting new characters such as Alicia and Vargas and it felt richer and more complex than the earlier books. As the final instalment to the series it really packed a punch!

Ik twijfel over wat ik nou echt vind van het boek. Ik kwam er wederom niet echt lekker in in het begin.

Maar vanaf blz 500 wordt je echt helemaal in het verhaal gesleurd en vind ik het echt knap hoe de schrijver alle delen in dit verhaal samen laat komen zonder dat het geforceerd wordt. Vanaf dat moment is het ook moeilijk om het boek nog weg te leggen.

Ook leuk vond ik het dat dit deel een hele sterke vrouwelijke hoofdrol heeft voor wie ik veel sympathie kon voelen.

Uiteindelijk blijft deel 1 mijn favoriet.

Ohja en ik wil uiteraard heel erg graag naar Barcelona nu.

This wasn't dark but plenty of violence. I kept waiting for something to happen.
