After reading The Shadow of the Wind and The Angel's Game, I was expecting more from this book that it somehow failed to deliver. However this being the author's debut work I guess it can be expected that it wouldn't be as good as his later novels. He certainly didn't do much in the way of character development in this one. Like his two adult novels, I found the ending to be ambiguous and rushed. I also thought the evil in the book was way too strong for a young adult novel, but I guess that's acceptable these days...
