I was absolutely in love with 4/5ths of this book. I adored the gothic atmosphere of it, the richness and reality of Barcelona, the increasing tempo of the mystery surrounding David ... but the ending fell flat for me. It didn't feel like the ending was supernatural and unknowable; it just felt kind of tacked on without explanation or reason. I wish the epilogue wasn't part of this book - it ended the book on a sour note for me.
