History initiation but also thwarted love, troubled periods of history, friendship and cruelty, "The Shadow of the Wind" mixed emotions and genres. The novel offers the paradox of having a very slow pace but keep taking. Daniel's investigation and advanced his own path form a double plot that maintains interest. The slow me tired sometimes but at the same time she participated in the misty and haunting atmosphere of the novel.
In the end, I liked "Shadow of the Wind" but do not feel enthusiastic. Despite characters and interesting topics, I will remember the more mysterious and fantastic atmosphere as the story itself. This reading me neither dazzled nor disappointed.
