BiblioAddict The First Step on the Road to Recovery

On princes, mist, and double le sighs:

Whoa, whoa whoa.  I know I’ve been off the radar and all but when did Carlos Ruiz Zafon come out with a new book?  I wasn’t expecting this at all.  Especially since I waited almost six years (or something that felt like six years) for Zafon to come out with The Angel’s Game after I read and loved The Shadow of the Wind. I figured I’d have to wait just as long for Zafon’s third book so I, er… haven’t even read The Angel’s Game yet.  Now I’m behind.  Double le sigh.

The Prince of Mist is a little different from the other two in that it’s classified as a young adult novel. There also seems to be more overt supernatural elements in this book than in his other two.  The book description on Amazon reads:

It’s war time, and the Carver family decides to leave the capital where they live and move to a small coastal village where they’ve recently bought a home. But from the minute they cross the threshold, strange things begin to happen. In that mysterious house still lurks the spirit of Jacob, the previous owners’ son, who died by drowning.

With the help of their new friend Roland, Max and Alicia Carver begin to explore the strange circumstances of that death and discover the existence of a mysterious being called the Prince of Mist–a diabolical character who has returned from the shadows to collect on a debt from the past. Soon the three friends find themselves caught up in an adventure of sunken ships and an enchanted stone garden–an adventure that will change their lives forever.

Oh, and did I mention there’s a trailer?

…….

Needless to say, I’ve already requested a copy from the library.  The library hasn’t received their own ordered copies yet, which means I have some time to read my way through The Angel’s Game.  Sweet.
