The Midnight Palace is the second book in the Trilogy of Fog series. I read the Prince of Mist as well and enjoyed it but thought this second book was better. Both books are excellently written and hold your interest but The Midnight Palace provides more fleshed out characters and depth. This book tells the story of twin orphans who are separated to protect them from an evil entity that is in pursuit of them. Zafon does a wonderful job of keeping the suspense ratcheted up and keeping the reader engaged. There is also a plot twist midway through that I didn't see coming at all. Great read! I recommend this to those who enjoy paranormal fiction or historical fictions. 4 stars! Fiquei um tanto desapontada com este livro. tendo lido A sombra do Vento, o Jogo do Anjo e Marina, fui com sede ao Palácio da Meia-Noite, e encontrei um livro realmente infanto-juvenil (diferentemente de Marina, que o autor inclui nessa categoria, mas que combina leveza com narrativa pungente com a maestria que seus leitores tanto apreciam). Trama excessivamente intrincada e excesso de adjetivação foi o que encontrei. Não é um livro ruim, por suposto, mas não ficará na minha estante.
What do You think about Půlnoční Palác (1998)?
Another marvelous story which should appeal to all ages.
