The Prince of Mist

By: Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Narrated by: Jonathan Davis

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.

Felt real

What did you love best about The Prince of Mist?

The presentation was great. The sounds of the storms and sea were a very nice touch. It made the story have an entirely new dimension. The narrator and sounds made the story feel real and sucked you in.

starts off great

but just when the story reaches its pinacle it just drops off at the end. disappointing after reading The Shadow of the Wind but you can see the elements that Zafon expirements with to build up his Cemetery of Forgotten Books series.

A dark tale of evil for young adults.

An engaging story about the consequences of making a bargain with the devil, and the forces of darkness vs. light.

Most enjoyable

Have read all of Carlos's other books. This is the 1st Audio book. Enjoyable although I didn't know the content is for the teenage reader.

Really for teens but good!

I enjoyed this book though I was surprised as I got into it that it's really for teens. I will let my teen son listen. No bad language. No real violence. Reads like a teen novel as far as action and character development. I really enjoyed it though. Reminds me of Something Wicked this Way comes - sort of eerie carnival type story with ghosts etc. Fun listen and great narrator.
