Luís's Reviews > O Jogo do Anjo

I liked the atmosphere of the previous book of this series and its history against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War. The angel's game is like him, with a Barcelona surrounded by mysteries, mists, and supernatural stories, but less captivating.
We will follow David Martin from childhood to adulthood in Barcelona in the 20th century. After a difficult childhood, he proved relatively young to be an avid reader with remarkable writing talents. But when he moves into a dark, abandoned, and "cursed" house and gets contacted by a publisher to write "a story that men would be able to live and die for, kill and be killed for," things will escalate. And he will make dark discoveries about his past and that of the inhabitants of his house.
The story seemed interesting, but I found it too long and redundant. In addition, I struggled to get attached to the main character, whose incoherent remarks and ramblings lost me a bit. That said, the descriptions of Barcelona are poetic and pleasant to read.
