A review by seawarrior
Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

4.0

Silver Nitrate is a wicked novel that is most rewarding in its exploration of a devoted friendship. At times I felt the book was a little slow, but I was always excited to return to it because of how quickly Montserrat and Tristán endeared themselves to me. Other reviewers are correct in observing that the novel is swollen with exposition. Yet I enjoyed learning more about this world's fictional film history, technical details and all. This is a novel to fall into, and accept that the journey with its characters is more valuable than where they end up.
