A review by jchant
Marina by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I don't read YA much, and I definitely don't read horror at all, but despite those two facts, I found this novel really compelling. I may have to move on to Zafón's  The Shadow of the Wind next.
