A review by sambrumagin
Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

3.0

This had a lot of elements in it that make me who I am: movies, sound editing, magic…so I should have enjoyed this more than I did. The characters were all interested and fleshed out, but I found the dialogue tiring and the plot dragging. I think it could’ve packed a bigger punch if it was shorter and events took place one after another. I also was unamused with Tristians POV and thought it would’ve read a lot better without it. 
But the overall story was great, it felt like I was reading Archive 81. I love the ideas behind it and the magic “system.”  

Upon further review (looking back at my Mexican Gothic review,) I think this author’s work is just not for me as I had similar feelings for both novels!
