If anyone has read Shadow of the Wind - Angels Game will be somewhat familiar. It takes place in the same Barcelona only years earlier. Some of the same places are there and act as characters on their own. The story is amazingly well written. I devoured this book in less than a week finishing the second half in one night. I just couldn't stop until it was done! This book will be with me for a long long time. Now I want to read Shadow of the Wind again!
