Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

adventurous challenging dark informative mysterious tense slow-paced

4.5

Sylvia Moreno-Garcia is a brilliant author. You can count on her to deliver something unlike anything else you've read. This is my third book of hers and while it still ranks lower than my all time fav Mexican Gothic, which I reread every October, it's not by much. The pacing was just a little bit off, but it could be that I have smaller chunks of time to read lately so it was hard to get fully immersed. I had to keep going back and rereading pages because there were details I missed. But this is likely just a product of my attention span rather than a major fault of the book. I really felt like this was one of the most interesting and creative books I've read all year, and have no qualms with the characters, plot, or the writing.
