This arrived in my mail today. It is the bound galley proof for Carlos Ruiz Zafón's latest novel, El juego del Ángel, which goes on sale on May 13th in the US. While I plan on having a Spanish-language reseña here, I received this ARC because I agreed to review it elsewhere for posting on the 13th. It is a monster at 667 large font pages bound in an 8.5" x 11" format, so it'll probably take me a few days of careful reading to jot down all the necessary notes and to do the translations and re-translations. Needless to say, I am curious to see how this will stack up next to Zafón's previous novel, La sombra del viento (The Shadow of the Wind), which I felt was on the cusp of becoming something truly special before settling for merely quite good. But more on this later. The Cemetery of Lost Books awaits.
