❞ رواية The Prince of Mist ❝ ⏤ كارلوس زافون

What a peculiar book! This was Zafón's very first novel! Written in 1992 in Spanish and translated to English in 2010.

The Author’s Note in the book explains that his first four novels preceding the Cemetery of Forgotten Books series, containing: The Shadow of the Wind; The Angel’s Game; The Prisoner of Heaven and The Labyrinth of Spirits (The best books I have ever read in my life!) are young adult novels, but that he hoped the books would appeal to all ages. In my opinion this one did!

Mr. Zafón as a first time novelist gave a chilling and sad ghost story. The subject involves: A clock that goes backwards; a mysterious shipwreck; an evil magician; a garden of statues that move; and a family with young children who move into an abandoned beach house – one where the previous owner’s son drowned.

Side note: I believe the character of Cain has elements that share commonalities with the character of Andreas Corelli in The Angel’s Game(IYKYK), although in this tale Cain is called a “magician” versus outright making him the devil incarnate.

An intriguing read, fast paced with Zafón's promised bewitching writing that will keep you on your toes. Easy 5 ⭐!

At this point, I would literally read anything by Zafón, including his grocery list.
