Author Appeal: As in past books, Zafon's love of literature is passed on to his positive characters, while evil characters are contemptuous of the written word. Valls is said to have no actual talent, the reason he imprisoned and forced more skilled authors to ghost write books for him. Hendaya, meanwhile, holds to the Franco regime's stance on censorship, and once he learns about the Cemetery of Forgotten books plans to burn it down. Alicia, meanwhile, despite her position in the secret police, is shown to be redeemable through her love of books and dreams of possibly writing herself one day. The Labyrinth of the Spirits is a masterpiece more than worthy of sharing a shelf with its bestselling predecessors, The Shadow of the Wind, The Angel’s Game and The Prisoner of Heaven. For those who have read Zafón’s earlier novels, some loose ends are finally resolved. Readers’ one regret will be that Labyrinth is the last in this ingenious cycle. Or read it as the end of the largest literary epic on literature and libraries ... And as we patiently search for geeks for a rare book, you will desperately search for the fate of the heroes I loved and an explanation of everything that has turned a blind eye in their Fate Forever the past will remain our reality no matter how we intervene to fix its results .. We will not cancel what happened, no matter how ugly. Gente, lo que están a punto de ver no se lo pueden contar a nadie...bienvenidos al Cementerio de los Libros Olvidados. ♡

Carlos Ruiz Zafón’s The Labyrinth of the Spirits is the culminating novel in his tetralogy centered around a fantasy library called the Cemetery of Forgotten Books. The novel is set in Barcelona, Spain, during the early part of the twentieth century under the military dictatorship of Francisco Franco. Although The Labyrinth of the Spirits is part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone novel. Readers need not have read the preceding three novels to understand the characters or events; however, their reading experience will be richer for having done so. The Labyrinth of the Spirits is a triumph of intricate plotting and complex characterization, though it is overlong and slow to reach its conclusion. The novel appeals to readers of numerous genres—including readers of fantasy, history, mystery, police procedurals, and romance—thereby reaching a wide and appreciative audience.

Durante los cuatro libros su sola mención me emocionó y me llenó de ansias por conocer revelaciones sobre este lugar, pero mientras más avanzaba más noté, que desafortunadamente uno de los mejores aspectos de esta tetralogía, simplemente fue usado como escenario para una serie de acontecimientos y nada más. Zafón no aprovechó la magia que envolvía este lugar y, al igual que los libros que se encontraban allí, solo quedó en el olvido. El mayor problema de este volumen no son los elementos creados por Zafón, sino la forma como los empleó.

I loved The Shadow of the Wind and the universe it established with The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, but the following two books, I was disappointed in, I liked them but they fell far short when it came to emulating the brilliance of the first. Mostly, I loved this, it's atmospheric with its beautiful prose, Zafon expertly constructs the labyrinth of secrets, the magic of books, with its intrigue, friendship, love and family. However, if I am to be honest, there is an unevenness to the narrative, and the last part of the book, in my eyes, is the weakest.
