aydon 's review for:

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
4.0

really solid. the main character is kinda boring, especially compared to most of the side characters, but it's still a pretty interesting read. some parts drag, but the mystery is intriguing, and the payoff is worth it. there's a reveal that blew me away with how zafón sneaks it right under your nose, and there are definitely some turns i didn't expect. kept me engaged right to the very end, banger book

8/10
