A mysterious house harbors an unimaginable secret. . . . It’s wartime, and the Carver family decides to leave the capital where they live and move to a small coastal village where they’ve recently bought a home. But from the minute they cross the threshold, strange things begin to happen. In that mysterious house there still lurks the spirit of Jacob, the previous owners’ son, who died by drowning. With the help of their new friend Roland, Max and Alicia Carver begin to explore the suspicious circumstances of that death and discover the existence of a mysterious being called The Prince of Mist—a diabolical character who has returned from the shadows to collect on a debt from the past. Soon the three friends find themselves caught up in an adventure of sunken ships and an enchanted stone garden, which will change their lives forever.

Criticism Out Of Books The Prince of Mist (Niebla #1)

Who would have thought that Zafon, best known for The Shadow of the Wind and The Angels Game, started his writing life as a young adult author? Now that he has achieved fame his publisher is bring these back in English translation, some of which won YA awards in Spain. I picked it up without knowing it was a YA book.The story is a spooky mystery based around the main character, a pre-teen boy, his older sister and the boys older friend. It is set in a coastal village in Spain just before WW II.

I saw this on a library shelf and fell prey to their assertion that, having read The Shadow of the Wind , I should read this too. Blairs review is spot-on when she says the story begins promisingly but then the book soon begins to get quite silly and more and more plot holes and unanswered questions pop up. The Prince of Mist suffers from being, ultimately, a story without a heart. Carlos Ruiz Zafón tries to create characters for the reader to care about, but the central conflict and antagonist

Although this isn't a novel as famous as the Shadow of the Wind, The Prince of Mist was the book that allowed me to discover Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I still remember reading it one summer when I was 12; that story strucks me very deeply. The mixture of mystery and terror of the book is ideal for a young reader (or not so young) who wants to enter the dark world of mystery and terror novels.Spanish version:Aunque ésta no sea una novela tan conocida como la Sombra del Viento, El príncipe de la niebla

If only I haven't read THE SHADOW OF THE WIND in the first place Yes people exactly this is the main issue with me whenever I pick up a Zafon novel. Most of the time this thing happens in the reverse. Like if you have read an author for the first time and you hated the book then I bet you will ever give the author any chance soon for your readership of his/her next book. But not here. I adore THE SHADOW OF THE WIND so much that I expect the same perfection from every book of Zafon which is

I didn't pay much attention to genre tags or even the synopsis before I picked up this book, so the story came as quite a surprise to me!Well-written with an interesting storyline that keeps you wondering for a great deal of the book.Max didn't strike me as the typical 13-year old, in a positive way, and I enjoyed seeing him develop and grow up a little. His older sister Alicia is still pretty much a mystery and I would have enjoyed getting to know more about her background, but since the book

This was my first Ruiz book and it was fantastic! I recommend the audio book, it was very well done and even features music from Ruìz's own compositions. It almost had an Alfred Hitchcock feel to it. Just really good!

2nd re-readPrvá veta:Posledná veta: Goodreads Challenge 2020: 1. kniha1st read:chills and chills:-) so good written... still don't understand how he does it but Zafon definitely rules:-) every book is a fascinating story of characters enthralling and so close to everyone's heart... you just breathe in every word and page.This tiny book should be first literary try of Mr Zafon and even though it's many years ago when it saw the first right of the day it's fresh, easy to read and most engaging
