This is an odd one. Any attempt on my part to give a decent synopsis or thumbnail sketch of this book won't do it justice...so, only a little about the story itself. I would suggest that if you like fantasy that actually lives up to that name in that it's fanciful...or if you like horror that actually inspires terror in those solitary alone moments that you try this one.

The book opens up a little slowly giving us background for the players. They are introduced with some of their life clinging to them. We see them move and we see them meet the unusual, even strange toy maker in his oddly spooky house.

There are moments in this book that will flash you back to other things you've read and there are moments where those old stories your grand father or grand mother may have told you (if you were lucky [or unlucky] enough to have "that kind" of grandparent). The house is in many ways a/the quintessential haunted house and the "horror" is a form of horror we've seen before. But it's done so very well.

During the reading I kept thinking that the house was much like the TARDIS...much bigger on the inside than on the outside. Of course it's also filled with twists and turns in a maze or labyrinth-like set of hallways that lead to it's rooms and it's hidden mysteries.

So, while I can't bring myself to quite go all the way to a 5 star rating I do recommend this one. Good book.

Cât de minunată a fost revederea cu stilul magic al lui Carlos Ruiz Zafon!
"Luminile din septembrie" este un roman adolescentin ce alină sufletele cititorilor de toate vârstele. Cartea are mister, are o latură detectivistică captivantă și antrenantă, are ritm, are suspans și are momente de maximă tensiune. Lectura este parcă desprinsă din universul gotic clasic, unde legendele fantomatice prind viață și uneltesc noi planuri de a se înfiripa în cotidianul maritim.
Am scris mai multe despre romanul misterios într-un articol publicat pe blog.

En esta tercera entrega de La trilogía de la niebla ya reconozco totalmente al Zafón de La sombra del viento y de Marina. Sin duda es el libro que más me ha gustado de los tres.
No sé muy bien por qué el autor decidió unir estas tres obras como una trilogía, ya que las historias no tienen nada que ver entre sí, definitivamente son autoconclusivas. Eso sí, con el nexo de que la niebla juega un papel importante en todas ellas, pero aparte de eso nada más en común.
En esta ocasión nos cuenta la historia de Simone y de sus hijos, Irene y Dorian. Al fallecer su marido, y padre de sus hijos, encuentra un empleo como ama de llaves de un fabricante de juguetes en un pequeño pueblo de Normandía. Los tres se trasladarán a vivir a una pequeña cabaña en el cabo de este pueblo.
Sin embargo, no todo es tan bonito cómo parece. Este pueblo y, más concretamente, el fabricante de juguetes guardan grandes misterios que se les van a venir encima.
Irene encontrará en Ismael, un chico del pueblo, un gran apoyo que le acompañará en esta aventura.
Una historia bien desarrollada, que mantiene en todo momento el suspense y que se lee en un suspiro, con las descripciones a las que me tiene acostumbrada Zafón, en las que consigue transportarme totalmente a los lugares descritos y con la que, para ser sincera, he pasado un miedo terrible.
Es una historia mucho más ligera que La sombra del viento, pero que ya tiene esa esencia que tanto me gusta del autor. Por lo que recomiendo empezar con esta trilogía y así ir en crescendo.
Sin duda muy recomendable para todos los amantes del suspense, el misterio y el terror.
Reconozco que el terror no es lo mío y que si he sido capaz de terminar esta novela ha sido por el empecinamiento que tengo de leer todo lo que ha escrito esta maravillosa pluma.

Questo romanzo mi è piaciuto dall'inizio alla fine.
L'ho iniziato senza leggere prima la trama, in questo modo ogni pagina era un passo verso una scoperta nuova. Tutto ciò ha fatto si di non avere verso questo libro grandi aspettative.
Questo racconto è iniziato in un ambiente tranquillo che faceva immaginare ad una storia dominata dalla magia più innocente che esista al mondo ma andando avanti il tepore lasciato dai primi capitoli ha lasciato lo spazio all'inquietudine e malvagità delle ombre presenti in ognuno di noi è nel mondo che ci circonda.
A differenza di qualsiasi libro che tratta il mistero e l'ignoto mi sono trovata di fronte a qualcosa di velato ma allo stesso tempo incisivo e coinvolgente capace di strapparmi anche una lacrima per la profondità dell' argomento che compariva tra le righe di questo splendido romanzo. Dentro ogni essere umano buono o cattivo che sia,si nasconde qualcosa di immensamente odioso.
Bellissima lettura.

Mai buna decat Marina, Luminile din septembrie a reusit sa ma captiveze de la primele pagini. Are elemente de gotic, mister, horror si spre final, thriller. Mi-a placut foarte mult. Recomand!

The watcher in the shadows is my favorite instalment of the Niebla trilogy! While reading this series I got the pleasure of seeing how the writing of Carlos Ruiz Zafon has developed and got better from one book to the other! Now that I've read all of his works I can't wait to see what he is gonna write next! It's always a pleasure to read a story from such a talented author!

I decided to lower the rating.

I always get a great satisfaction out of going into a W.H. Smith’s book shop in any of the English airports and looking to see the latest books on offer. I saw this book the other week and the blurb took my fancy. I rather liked the idea of:

n An enigmatic toymaker who lives as a recluse in an old mansion, surrounded by the fantastical beings he has created. An eerie figure that watches from behind the curtains of a locked room. Strange things that flicker through the mist from an abandoned lighthouse. A shadowy creature that hides deep in the woods and has already claimed one life. These are the elements of a mystery that will bind Irene to Ismael during a magical summer in Blue Bay, where her mother becomes housekeeper to the secretive toymaker, Lazarus Jann.n

This sounded a marvellous book and I couldn’t wait to leap into it but what a disappointment it turned out to be. Now whether the true essence of the book has been lost in the translation I don’t know but to me it lacked soul and I found the characters Simone, Irene and Lazarus very wooden. There was a childlike element to the book and so I skim read to the end, then returned to the main part of the book and finally abandoned it.

I hate to abandon a book but there are so many exciting books that I’m eager to read and why waste time with one that doesn’t inspire me in the least.

Sorry Mr Zafon. My apologies. I may not like you but there are many who do and that’s the saving grace.
