Two books into his œuvre I can officially say I'm a Zafon stan. The way he writes is so compelling and funny and clever and each book has felt layered and complex but not in a confusing way. I am so surprised at how much I love these books but they're all I want to read now.

I found myself laughing out loud multiple times, and also delighting in the phrasing. Some of the ways things are articulated just sits so nicely with me. I should have noted them down but I was so caught up in the story. These books are genuinely getting me interested in Franco and post-Franco Spain and I am not even mad about it.
