Book Review

The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón is a gripping novel that immerses the reader in the dark and mysterious atmosphere of 1920s Barcelona. The protagonist, writer David Martín, receives an offer from the enigmatic publisher Andreas Corelli to write a book that will change people's destinies. Critics note that Zafón masterfully creates tension and intrigue, skillfully weaving elements of gothic novel, mysticism, and detective story. Special attention is given to the rich language and vivid descriptions, which make Barcelona one of the main characters of the book. However, some reviewers point out the excessive complexity of the plot and the abundance of secondary lines, which may complicate comprehension. Overall, The Angel's Game is considered a worthy continuation of The Shadow of the Wind and confirms Zafón's talent as a storyteller and master of literary mysteries.
