In all fairness there is nothing wrong with this idea in principle but in reality, I find its execution to be clumsy and exploitative. De no ser por el personaje de Fermín y sus geniales e insidiosas ocurrencias, quizá lo hubiera valorado con menos de dos estrellas.

Little exposition is given to Daniel and Bea Sempere, either, giving readers little to hold onto about either character unless they're already invested in them from having read Shadow of the Wind. May heaven hear you, Daniel, because at this rate, if we don’t make up our losses over the Christmas season, we won’t even be able to pay the electricity bill in January. We’re going to have to do something.’ Leeré El laberinto de los espíritus? Claro que sí. Sin importar lo ocurrido aquí, necesito conocer la resolución de esta historia y de los misterios aún sin resolver, porque todo tiene que solucionarse en este último libro. Sin embargo, ahora mi expectativa es baja y creo que ante la más mínima insatisfacción que sienta en este último ejemplar, la calificación será baja, porque siento que no vale la pena esperar tanto tiempo para un desenlace incorrecto. It is 1957, and Daniel Sempere still works with his father at their bookshop in Barcelona, alongside their longtime friend and employee, Fermín Romero de Torres. A mysterious (and perhaps dangerous) unidentified man has come to the bookshop, looking for Fermín, and leaves him a cryptic note.

Carlos Ruiz Zafón

The Prisoner of Heaven is then, as a matter of fact, the third book in what is now, excuse my French, a freaking quartet!

Prisoner of Heaven is the third enchanting story from Carlos Ruiz Zafon’s, Cemetery of Forgotten Books trilogy, and it continues with the same edgy atmosphere as the previous two books. There is always a sense of darkness and secrets in these stories. Zafon is a master of keeping the flow of suspicion and intrigue alive throughout a book.Daniel Sempere has settled into married life well and his son is shortly turning one year old. He is living above the family bookshop, Sempere & Sons with his elderly father, his wife Beatriz and son Julian. Though business has declined further in recent years, his friend Fermín Romero de Torres still finds a place at the bookshop and continues to source rare books while bringing a smile to the faces of the customers. The main character in this chapter of Ruiz Zafon’s multi-volume tale is Fermin Romero de Torres, friend to the Sempere family, the owners of a struggling bookshop, in 1957 Barcelona. While other characters get their time on stage, this is Fermin’s tale. And a compelling story it is, from the time he adopted his name, through his less than friendly encounters with Spanish fascists in 1939, including a stint in a top-of-the-hill prison that would have been at home in the mind of Kafka or Bram Stoker, to the present (1957) when a ghost from his time in prison comes calling. Cómo no amar este libro cuando, en la primera página y a modo de nota de Julián Carax, el autor te advierte de todo lo que va a suceder? Pero, claro, todo lo entiendes una vez has leído la última palabra, cierras el libro y todo el peso de la historia cae sobre ti. ¿Cómo no amar este libro cuando en él se unen todas las líneas de historia de La Sombra del Viento y de El Prisionero del Cielo? ¿Cómo no amar este libro cuando su personaje principal es el más querido por nosotros los lectores: Fermín Romero de Torres? ¿Cómo no amar este libro si lo escribió Zafón y encima puedes leerlo con las canciones que él mismo compuso? Es imposible no adorar cada palabra de El Prisionero del Cielo. The Prisoner of Heaven has a series of mysteries that are investigated by Daniel and Fermín and this construct as well as the very nature of those mysteries were utterly familiar. The “who is this figure who left the message”, the “why is this happening”, the “villain of this story is a piece of shit policeman” are just SO MUCH like The Shadow of the Wind it’s not even funny. Cue to a few years later and we now have The Prisoner of Heaven. A small introduction tells us that this is part of a cycle of novels in the same literary universe and this labyrinth of stories “when woven together lead to the heart of the narrative”.
