"Niebla" Trilogy offers a unique combination of adventure, mystery and emotion." - Goodreads

I liked this trilogy, but I can tell that it's more appropriate for younger audience, so I did not enjoy it as much as I would have if I was a kid. Still, it was very easy to read, the stories were very interesting and unique and well written.

All of the books in this trilogy are with different stories so they can be read separately.

Personally, I liked "The Watcher in the Shadows" the most - it was the scarriest of them all, but I prefer the tragic endings in "The Prince of Mist" and "The Midnight Palace".

The character development was not verry well done, except for the villains who were my favorite part of the books. They were described very vividly and it was not hard to imagine and to be afraid of them.

Overall it was a good trilogy, but I wish I've read it when I was younger.

If any of you have read this novels, please leave me a comment what you thought about them and I'll be happy to read it.
