The Angel Game - Carlos Zafón

The novel "The Angel's Game" formed a second part of a literary series, based on "The Forgotten Books Cemetery" as a main literary theme. These novels are connected through characters and various themes; however, each novel is independent of the other and self-sufficient. One critic said that "The Angel's Game" demonstrated the author's skill in weaving a compelling plot rich in excitement and suspense. An enjoyable novel in all its details, it grants Carlos Zafón the title of "Barcelona's Dickens" without dispute. The events of the novel take place in Barcelona two decades before the outbreak of the civil war, that is, in the 1920s, and detail the circumstances and signs that led to the spark of the war, which claimed the lives of more than half a million people.
