The first book, The Shadow of the Wind, introduces us to The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, which is such a delicious concept to avid readers and writers alike. For this reason, I will keep my review free of major spoilers.įirst, a summary of the books in the series (publication dates are for the English translations):.

I hope that readers who are familiar with the story will enjoy reading this overview and, even better, I hope that new readers might discover the series through my post.

Rather than write a review of this final book, I wanted to use this blog post to talk about the series as a whole. Thirteen years later, I have just finished the final book in the series, The Labyrinth of the Spirits. I can clearly remember buying a book to take on holiday to Mallorca in 2005 and getting lost in the pages of Carlos Ruiz Zafón’s The Shadow of the Wind. Like songs and albums, I find that books work like a time machine, the mere mention of an author or title taking you back to the time and place where you first discovered a wonderful story.
