Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
4.0
3.5 leaning to 4*
buddy read this with a friend and we have contradicting opinions on this book, although we both agreed on one thing: that the book isn't as dark as the tags stated it to be and i was underwhelmed when it came to the whole (supposed to be) thrilling part. it wasn't bad per se, in fact i enjoyed most parts, but for something advertised as "horror" and "thriller", it inflicts that nagging feeling when you're sure that something is just so off and it isn't impossible to refine the bit to make the experience a lot better. i guess smg's writing is what saved this book's face the whole time, plus the intricate relationship between montseratt and tristán. the codependency trope is such a perfect addition to the story, they're the ones who made me ever so excited for the journey of revealing magic secrets. this is my fourth book of smg's work, and overall i enjoyed reading silver nitrate, i guess people should take this easy and not expect anything huge, but i believe this still counts as an exciting book.
