Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

4.0

I really loved the second half of this- the spookiness was excellent and I really loved the feel and atmosphere of the magic! Makes me think I should really read some more books with a sort of 'occult' style magic system.
The two main characters were also excellent. I loved how flawed they were yet, ultimately, trying to do good. Their relationship, dynamic and personalities felt so human. They were really the 'heart' of the whole story.
However, the first half was about 90% exposition and that did take a bit of effort to get through. I'm glad I carried on though because the climax was fantastic. I was also a bit miffed by some choices at the end
Spoiler (Monteserrat losing her powers)
but the choice did make sense in-universe.
