- The Cemetery of Forgotten Books trilogy written by Carlos Ruiz Zafon has been my favorite find of 2016. The stories are riviting, the characters are complex and engaging, and his wrtiting style has a classical poetic lyricism to it. I flew The Prisoner of Heaven, The Angel's Game, and The Shadow of the Wind in record time.
- The Angel's Game. There is an engaging and sympathetic human hero in THE ANGEL’S GAME, and most certainly an arch-villain. But through the vivid language of Carlos Ruiz Zafon, the surreal city of early-20th century Barcelona very nearly upstages both with its moods, its weather and its sinister beauty.

The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon If you were a fan of Zafon’s first book “The Shadow of the Wind,” then pull up a comfortable chair, turn off the phone, and get the popcorn and snacks ready because you’re in for another treat.

Literary career[edit]
The Angel's Game Carlos Ruiz Zafon Review
Ruiz Zafón's first novel, El Príncipe de la Niebla 1993 (The Prince of Mist, published in English in 2010), earned the Edebé literary prize for young adult fiction. He is also the author of three additional young adult novels, El palacio de la medianoche (1994), Las luces de septiembre (1995) and Marina (1999).
In 2001 he published his first adult novel La sombra del viento (The Shadow of the Wind), a Gothic mystery that involves Daniel Sempere's quest to track down the man responsible for destroying every book written by author Julian Carax. The novel has sold millions of copies worldwide and more than a million copies in the UK alone. Since its publication, La sombra del viento has garnered critical acclaim around the world and has won many international awards.
Ruiz Zafón's next novel, El juego del ángel, was published in April 2008. The English edition, The Angel's Game, is translated by Lucia Graves. It is a prequel to The Shadow of the Wind, also set in Barcelona, but during the 1920s and 1930s. It follows (and is narrated by) David Martin, a young writer who is approached by a mysterious figure to write a book. Ruiz Zafón intends it to be included in a four book series along with The Shadow of the Wind.[3]
The next book in the cycle, El prisionero del cielo, appeared in 2011, which returns to The Shadow of the Wind's Daniel Sempere and his travel back to the 1940s to resolve a buried secret. The novel was published in English in July 2012 as The Prisoner of Heaven.[4]
The Labyrinth of Spirits (original title: El laberinto de los espíritus) is the fourth and final book in the Cemetery of Forgotten Books series. The novel was initially released on 17 November 2016 in Spain and Latin America by Spanish publisher Planeta. HarperCollins published the English translation by Lucia Graves, which was released on September 18, 2018.
Carlos Ruiz Zafón's works have been published in 45 countries and have been translated into more than 40 different languages.[5] According to these figures, Ruiz Zafón is the most widely published contemporary Spanish writer, followed by Javier Sierra, whose works have been published in 42 countries, and Juan Gómez-Jurado, whose works have been published in 41 countries.
