Escapando de los desastres de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la familia Carver se traslada a una casa junto a la playa de un pueblo pequeño y tranquilo situado a orillas del Atlántico. Se trata de un viaje también en el tiempo, pues pronto los Carver se ven envueltos en una sorprendente historia relacionada con inquietantes acontecimientos del pasado. El nuevo hogar de los Carver está rodeado de misterio. En él aún se respira el espíritu de Jacob, el hijo de los antiguos propietarios, que murió ahogado. Max y Alicia, los hermanos mayores de la familia, protagonizan junto a su amigo Roland una peligrosa aventura que les lleva a descubrir al Príncipe de la Niebla, un personaje siniestro capaz de conceder cualquier deseo a una persona a un alto precio. El diabólico personaje les demuestra hasta qué punto aciertan quienes aseguran que lo prometido es... deuda.

"Принцът на Мъглата " определено разкрива Сафон в друга светлина.
Словото му пак е така омайващо , но тук и доста мрачно зловещо на моменти , лек поклон пред майсторите Кинг и Лъвкрафт.

Me gustó el libro pero al mismo tiempo no. Es muy descriptivo, te ayuda a ambientarte muy bien en la historia y lo que te está contando el autor. Además que está bien escrito. Pero al ser tan descriptivo el resultado es que se vuelve lento, me faltó emoción y un poco más de suspenso en cierta escenas.

A big change of pace from my nonfiction reading about World War II, The Prince of Mist is a middle grade novel by acclaimed Spanish writer Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I'd read Zafon's The Name of the Wind, a brilliant adult novel blending Gothic horror and magic realism, but I wasn't aware that Zafon actually began his career writing middle grade fantasies. The Prince of Mist was his first book, and it did not disappoint.
The war in Europe plays only a background role in the book, much as it does in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. The Carver family decides to leave their urban home in Spain to escape the war. They move to a small beach town which has more than its share of secrets. Young Max discovers that their new family house was owned by a doctor and his wife, whose son drowned many years before. There is a strange walled garden behind the house, filled with creepy statues of circus performers. There is a shipwreck just off the coast, and a strange old man who runs the town lighthouse. The town clock runs backwards. Strange voices whisper in the house. Max and his sister Alicia soon meet a new friend named Roland, whose parents died in a tragic accident when he was small. Together, the three of them begin to unravel the mystery surrounding the town, which is entwined with an evil force from the past -- an entity known as the Prince of Mist.
If you like quick, creepy reads with mystery and menace, The Prince of Mist is for you. It will keep you turning the pages, and probably leaving your lights on, late into the night.

Nu mă așteptam la acel sfârșit, dar chiar și așa, mi-a plăcut tare mult cărticica asta chipurile destinată tinerilor! Am citit-o repejor și alert, fascinată încă o dată de talentul de povestitor al lui Zafon. Nu se află la nivelul trilogiei Cimitirul cărților uitate, e adevărat, însă e o lectură ușoară și bine scrisă, care oferă doza potrivită de mister, horror și acțiune.

this was a spooky, fun, heartbreaking, and quick read. basically all i could ever want from this author and more.
my only qualm is you can definitely tell this is the first book the author ever wrote and felt a little too ya at times for me (especially with the romance).
the audiobook production itself is worth 5 stars!

Nice little story, although I wonder if it has enough excitement to satisfy young'uns raised on the Harry Potter series. This was Ruiz-Zafon's first novel, originally published in 1992, so don't expect the depth and genius of The Shadow of the Wind. Still, there are a lot of elements I think will appeal to kids: the weird cat, the sunken ship, the old film reels, the clown (somewhat reminiscent of Stephen King's Pennywise).
The first half of the book is fairly ordinary. I kept wondering when it would get scary. The second half is much more exciting and supernatural. All in all, I liked the story, but felt there were some aspects of the plot and characters that were underdeveloped or insufficiently explained. Great stuff for a first effort though. Fans of his more recent adult novels will recognize the author's gift for using weather and architecture to set the scene and build suspense.
