What price would you be willing to pay to have
one of your wishes granted?
This is basically the premises of the book;
there’s this mystical character – the Prince of the Mist – who grants wishes in
return of a certain price - an unreasonable price -, that can go from setting on
fire a merchant’s warehouse, to sacrifice the life of your first born. He believes that people shouldn’t expect to
get everything they want without giving something in return – he sees it as a
fair trade.
There was a certain simplicity to the plot and there
weren’t that many characters, which I liked; I felt that the book was really
focused on the mystery that I was presented to and didn’t try to introduce
other elements that probably wouldn’t be that relevant to the story. I also
enjoyed the fact that the author didn’t try to give us an expected happy ending
– something bad had to happen for the story to make sense.
This book is the first one of a trilogy and I’ll
be reading the rest of it even though, from what I’ve read, the other books
have different plots. I really liked this book and I would recommend it. I know
this author is famous for is adult novels but this little young adult trilogy is
worth checking out.
I've read this book in spanish and this is the cover:
