    I was rocking through the first half of the book, loving Ruiz Zafn's writing, and then I just stopped
    caring a little over halfway through. I'm not entirely sure what happened. I think I got sick of having
    absolutely no freaking idea what was going on. Yeah, I knew who the publisher was, but I didn't
    know how that was going to tie into everything else. I read this using this really cool post-it-
    bookmark my husband gave me, because I knew that I would probably have tons of quotes I loved
    in here. The last one is at page 324 out of 531 pages. There's no big event that I can find there, I
    think that's just where I ran out of patience.
    I loved Ruiz Zafn's previous book,
    The Shadow of the Wind
    , and I have a feeling that a re-read would bump that one up to five stars. I missed having a
    Fermn. There wasn't really anyone to give any lightness or grace to the story. It was all darkness
    and despair. The relationship between David and Isabella gave a few lighter moments, but he
    ended up hurting her feelings more often than not, so those were pretty limited. This is sort of a
    companion to Shadow, and I had a hard time figuring out how and when they fit together. I was
    confused about how this Sempere was consistently described as being shy and sort of boring,
    when that wasn't the guy I knew from Shadow. This young Sempere is the father in Shadow.
    I have to say, my hat is off to the translator, Lucia Graves. She did one heckuva job translating
    this. The story might have lost me a little, but the writing is still lyrical, and that has to be as much
    to her credit as to the author's.
    Maybe I should have put this aside and tried it again later when I realized that I had started to lose
    interest. I don't think that would have made a difference though. It's still a dark, Gothic novel that
    fans of that genre will still probably love. I just preferred The Shadow of the Wind much, much
    more.

    I can't understand how people confused the Semperes... it was pretty clear to me that the author
    was talking about Daniel's grandfather and his father in the 1930. Perhaps is the translation? I
    read it in its original language. In addition, the novels are supposed to be in a way, separate
    stories. So you don't need to read one before the other. However, what unites them is the fact that
    it's around the cemetery of forgotten books. I read the book trying to detach myself for the first and
    I found it great, although I do prefer TSOW. So if you're going to read this book, clear it with a
    clear mind I would say.
