The Prince of Fog - Carlos Zafón

When I was young I did not insist on reading novels classified as "youthful". My idea of young readers' novels matched my idea of readers' novels regardless of their ages; I believe that the story does not care about age groups. I have always had the impression that young readers may be more shrewd and insightful than older readers, and if they excelled in anything it is their little appreciation and their even less bias. Either the writer wins them over, or they do not hesitate to exclude him. They are a difficult and demanding audience, but I like their judgments, and I think they are fair... and "The Prince of Fog" is the first book in a series of "youthful" novels, alongside "The Midnight Palace" and "September Lights", and the standalone novel "Marina", which I wrote years before the release of "The Shadow of the Wind". Some mature readers may be influenced by the popularity of the last novel, and rush to explore these mystery and adventure stories, and I hope new readers will like them so they can start their journey and adventure.
