The Prisoner of Heaven by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Not sure how I missed this when reading the series. It now makes sense on why I felt like I had missed something when I read the last book The Labyrinth of the Spirits. This series is excellent. I will be reading it again in the future.

Ancora ricordo quando, a 19 anni, lessi per la prima volta L'ombra del Vento, il primo capitolo di questa tetralogia. Rimasi affascinata dalla storia, dalle ambientazioni tetre e da quel pizzico di horror che ci trovai dentro. Diventò uno dei miei libri preferiti, più che altro perché legato a un periodo e a delle sensazioni a cui ancora oggi mi sento affezionata.
Il prigioniero del cielo in qualche modo mi ha fatto ritornare con la testa proprio in quel pezzetto della mia vita. 
Riconosco che oggi, a distanza di 10 anni, sono un'altra persona, ho letto moltissimi libri sicuramente di un livello più alto rispetto a Zafón, eppure in queste pagine mi sono ritrovata. Mi sono proprio accomodata dentro con plaid e tisanina, e mi sono persa nella storia di Daniel, la libreria Sempere e il cimitero dei libri dimenticati, il tutto annebbiato da questa atmosfera grigia e polverosa che caratterizza i romanzi di Zafón. Sicuramente continuerò a leggere il quarto e ultimo capitolo di questa saga, perché è veramente una coccola che ogni tanto mi voglio regalare.

It took me a chapter or two to settle back into the world that these books create, but from then on, it was riveting. Another fantastic book in the series.
