A review by mirabecker
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

4.0

I was slow to warm up to this one, but it eventually hooked me in. At first, I didn't care much about the characters and was more interested in the plot. The plot stayed engaging and was satisfyingly complex and layered, but the characters also strengthen throughout the novel, which helped capture more of my interest. By the end, what I got most out of this book was its exploration of how stories and relationships and the past get twisted and deformed, which all comes back to the characters, so it's good that Zafón pulled through
