I couldn’t get into it. The characters weren’t likeable, dialogue was forced and the action was slow.

The writing and overabundance of information in this wasn’t my favorite, but the story and concept was something so out of left field that it kinda made me love it. Take a chance on it. That’s all I’m gonna say about this one.

I enjoyed Silver Nitrate but definitely not as much as Mexican Gothic. I adore Moreno-Garcia's prose but I felt that the pacing of the story wasn't balanced. The first 100 pages were a bit slow and the Iast 50 pages went too fast for me - I want to savour!!

I didn't like it as much as I liked Mexican Gothic, but I love that Morena-Garcia gives us strong, sometimes flawed female characters that dirve the story forward.
