Review of "The Angel's Game" on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Probably the story to which I became most addicted to. The sentence flows, story unfolds, characters leave their mark in your heart, mystery bobbles, eeriness creeps, fear engulfs, beauty of the city enchants, the setting amplifies an experience that is sure to stay with you long.
The book, though it's translation, still has same narrative quality like the 1st volume, though that had what I'd call the most beautiful friendship put on paper, The Angel's game has people befriending and holding on due to respect and love and longing.

I'd just want to add two qualities in the story that I was very attracted to - one the mystery and two - Barcelona. The author has wrote without overusing adjectives and without supplicating towards the city through paragraphs of sweet prose but has weaved the story beautifully around what 'happens' that there is no dry passage or 'having to push yourself' through. I'd love if he sets more stories in this literary universe of the cemetery of forgotten books.
Now on to the third novel.
