I have to say I was a little disappointed with The Prisoner of Heaven I was really looking forward to more witty dialogue from "Fermin Romero De Torres" and it just didn't deliver. Part 3 ties together The Shadow of the Wind and The Angels game and focuses on Fermin's sort of mysterious past as a pr...

I wish I had read this a lot later. I want the fourth book now. I want to see how everything ends. :(

Not as well-developed as Shadow of the Wind or Angel's Game, but has good backstory of the characters from those two novels.

Zafon is so good that I not only completely enjoyed The Prisoner of Heaven, but I also remembered why I loved Shadow of the Wind and The Angel's Game so much. I wanted to read them again and I will. And I will enjoy them even more for having read The Prisoner of Heaven.Where to start? The writing...

The follow-up/loose prequel was The A...

The Prisoner of Heaven is a good sequel to The Shadow of the Wind and The Angel's Game. Prisoner is the shortest book so far in the loosely connected quartet, and gives quite a bit of background on Fermin. It is very much a sequel book, tying the two previous books together into a larger narrative...

Note: You don’t have to read either of the previous books before reading The Prisoner of Heaven, but if you like this one as much as I do, you’ll be picking up The Shadow of the Wind and The Angel’s Game sooner rather than later. This is the story of a young man who finds out that his closest friend...
