Carlos Zavon brings us to his final stop in the "Cemetery of the Forgotten Books" saga. The Labyrinth of Spirits is the fourth episode after The Prisoner of Heaven, The Angel and the Shadow of the Wind game. A fiery novel, no less than its predecessors in terms of enthusiasm, excitement and suspense. It takes us once again to those narrow alleys shrouded in suspicious mystery and difficult riddles, between the bright Barcelona and its damned opposite, so that the city becomes like circles of hell that contain each other. In it we meet new faces, who join and interact with previous characters, and instead of guiding us to the final conclusion of the Quartet, the pages open to different scenarios. It expands to include other places, and delves into the times that paved the way for war and tragedy, and the years of authoritarianism, oppression, and misfortune that followed. The Labyrinth of Souls, the Labyrinth of Endings. A game mastered by the novelist, who whenever he collected the papers scattered them. A plot attached to the reader, who, whenever he discerns an imminent possibility of a reasonable ending, is surprised by the narration that turns him into a different vision. Zavon provides us with a distinctive example of the flexibility of the novel and its ability to be smooth and condensed. It also celebrates the world of books and the art of storytelling, and the magical relationship that consolidates between literature and life.
