The Silence in Her Eyes
by Armando Lucas Correa
Read Completed 1/28/24 | 3 - 3.25 stars
I really liked the concept of this book (the main character having motion blindness) and it definitely made this book interesting! Following Leah as she navigates her world on her own was very interesting, and using this concept in a thriller made for a unique unreliable narrator that kept me wondering.
Unfortunately, I just didn't care for the writing style. The book took a while to get going, which I wouldn't have minded so much if there was a touch more suspense in the beginning. There are a few things that the reader can reflect on once finished, and the ending was a little wild and furious, but I just wish there was more that had drawn me in besides the initial concept. Just a bit more suspense and tension would have really made for a little better pacing.
There were also a few parts that were a little bit disjointed. The writing got a little jumpy, which was possibly intentional due to how Leah perceives everything, but some of it was a little hard to follow and distracting at times. There just wasn't a lot of emotion attached to much of it, which also could have been due to the main character, but I just wanted to be a little more connected to it all.
It was a very quick read, though, and the ending made things better!
