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

mysterious medium-paced

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

4.0

Takes a bit to get going, kind of melodramatic, and echoes a lot of the misogyny of the genre & era of novels its trying to emulate... but DAMN was I at the edge of my seat after the first like 33% !!
