Ruiz Zafon says at the beginning that the books in this series don't need to be read in order, however, I disagree. I think they should be read in order.

I was very happy being back in this world. There's just something about Carlos Ruiz Zafon's writing that just works for me. He just manages to pull me into his worlds and keep me there. I would say though that this book felt more like a filler book for the series, that's why I think it doesn't make sense to read this book if you haven't already read the first too.
This gave more of a back story about other characters and intertwined their stories even more. All the storylines are coming together now. Within the series? Really enjoyed it. As a standalone book? Don't think it holds much weight on its own.
