The Fountains of Silence has been on my radar for a while and I’m glad I finally got the chance to read it. I certainly loved the setting! It's the first time I read about Spain in a book in those times (after the civil war), please we need more books that tell stories of the different time period that are NOT World War related! (Not taking this period lightly but we do have enough books about it for now...)

The story was cute but I was more interested in the history part than the characters themselves. My biggest issue with this book is that we have too many points of view which was annoying when listening to the audiobook since they're all read by the same person. I did not see the necessity of so many perspectives either. I had a difficult time keeping up with the multiple povs at first and somewhat made me disconnected from the characters. Maybe if the chapters weren't so short it would've worked better for the story... because just when I barely get used to a character (and not the main two; Ana and Daniel), the book moves to another person.

Other than that, The Fountains of Silence was interesting and I'm glad I finally read it. It was certainly better than I expected. It was too romance-heavy for me but I didn't mind the MCs so it was okay. I'm going to read [b:Salt to the Sea|25614492|Salt to the Sea|Ruta Sepetys|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1437084512l/25614492._SY75_.jpg|27126244] for sure now. I didn't know if I'm doing to read it but Sepetys is a talented writer and I like her style.
