A review by coolcatalycat
The Labyrinth of the Spirits by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

5.0

this is definitely the longest book i’ve ever read and one of the best. i’m not even gonna lie, the amount of times i wanted to throw this book across the room cause i felt like i would never finish this was very high for a book i loved very much (i’ve been in a slump and was trying to force myself to read lol)

the character dynamics throughout the whole series was just so well done, and it’s so nice to read about characters who love stories and novels just as much as you do

it felt like i was saying goodbye to a family member when i turned to the last page, or several family members as i felt i knew each character personally

the constant repetition of “welcome to the cemetery of forgotten books” got me every time

also??! julian carax and julian sempere being the authors was such a nice touch, i just can’t believe i read a 3000 page story
