Book was very interesting at beginning, but it got sidetracked a lot. It didn’t grip me the same way as previous one.
It had elements of fantasy (magical realism), which I liked.
Last 1/3 of the book were not readable, I just skipped most of it.

Voor 5 sterren had er toch iets meer duidelijkheid moeten zijn op het einde

I liked this one a lot and it was definitely enhanced by my reading it while visiting Barcelona! Having just visited a lot of the places was very cool. It wasn’t a perfect book and maybe it’s best savored with a little distance from reading Shadow of the Wind, but damn does this author have the sauce. The ending was poetic but also…I found it odd and I would have worded a handful of things differently (and I bet most female authors would have too) so it couldn’t be interpreted weirdly. But that’s kind of my only gripe!
"devolverle lo nunca supe darle" DAMN. Frase escrita con fuego literalmente!!.
Me gustó ucho el libro porque es bonito ver pos detalles que lo unen con el primero. Escenas DEL TERROR como diría mi abuelita, por lo que es muy emocionante "asustarse" con literal palabras lol! Viva la lectura!!!si!si!si!.
Me gustó la vuelta que tiene el personaje del patrón, muy fiel a esa vision de un ser que es imposible de nombrar y que es lo malo y lo bueno a la vez, lo encontré #macanuo oye.

I hate giving this book a 3 star review because there were parts of it that were great, and the writing (or translation, I suppose) was so beautiful. However, I think the story as a whole was not as good as its individual parts. For one, I think the story tried to do too many things and go in too many different directions. Several plot points I thought would be important later on ended up leading to nothing (such as with his mother), and there were several plot points that did not make much sense to me. Secondly, maybe it is because this is the second book in the series and I never read the first one, but basically the last two or three chapters lost me. I didn't really understand what the big deal was with him creating a religion??? Like... why? Why is this such a life or death dire thing? Also Christina was just meh. Why did David have to constantly lust after her when she was pretty crappy to him overall? I will say that the audio quality was phenomenal (as is the usual with Dan Stevens narrating), and I loved the interactions between Isabella and David. I kept waiting for them to interact again. Even when he was mean to her, I kept waiting for her to show up, and she was the one bright spot in the book. I will also say the ending made me cry. I've heard good things about the first book, so maybe I'll check it out now.
