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

4.0

Almost 5 stars. As each new character appears the author writes a backstory. I loved each one and couldn't wait for the next. Reading each was deeply satisfying. Most of the story is about the search for a missing author and why someone is burning his books. Towards the end the structure changes and a long letter by one of the characters explains most of the mystery. This wasn't as much fun. I found out that there are 4 books in this series but I'm not ready for another book on depressing Franco Spain.
