Thank you Netgalley for the free ARC of The Silence Factory by Bridget Collins in exchange for an honest review.
I found this book really intrieging. It's not a genre I often pick up, but every time I do, I sit and wonder why I'm letting myself miss out.
The Silence Factory is told in 2 parts; we follow Henry, a widow who is eager to please a man who produces revolutionary silk that blocks all noise, and Sophia, the wife of the man who brought spiders back from Greece to make his fortune.
Pros:
- This book kept me guessing all the way. The thought that has gone into how the silk works is so in depth. If I saw this in a NatGeo doc I would probably just g0 "Yeah, checks out."
- Expertly creepy. I like spiders, and even I was itching with the pure vides this novel exudes.
Cons:
- I would hat ATE every part of this, but damn the ending just soured it. The Henry reveal had me screaming "What?!" and not in the best way, though I will put that down to personal tastes.
