They Fly Silent is what I would call Southern Gothic. It is set in a small town in Texas and follows Cassandra Cleopatra Collard. Cass is accused of setting a fire on the lawn of. her ex, an event which she cannot recall. After her arrest she is ordered to undergo counseling. The counseling reveals that there are many instances in her life which she has buried deeply. Her grandmother had told her she had abilities and was part of a mystical Seven.
I found this to be a well-written book. As the book progresses more and more of the layers of Cass' personality and life are revealed. It keeps you guessing as to whether Cass has strange abilities or merely deep seated psychological issues. The also does a great job of setting the scene and you can almost feel the Southern heat. This is by no means a light fluffy read but one that you will think about and will test your
imagination.
I received the book from NetGalley and appreciated the chance to give a review.

This book was a really fun and enjoyable read. The characters were relatable and had great depth. I definitely recommend it and will be ordering copies for my library.

They Fly Silent is a roller coaster that grips you and won’t let you go. As a result it’s hard to catch your breath. The book is filled with darkness, The books main character is a women who is haunted by her personal pain. It’s a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I highly recommend it.

Im rating this a three i love the thought process of this book and and the idea of it. But when i was reading it. I felt like it had so much to do with her grandmother and the past that it took away from the book. The first part of the book i felt like it took multiple hours to read when i can read a book in one sitting in around 5 hours. I felt like it didnt need extra 50 pages explaining something. But over all i liked it i wish it read fast though.

What drew me to this book was the magical realism description, however, upon reading it, I soon discovered that it was more psychological than magical. The story followed Cass, a troubled young woman in therapy dealing with haunting memories and a suppressed childhood. I did not finish this book because the psychological depths this book explored were too meandering, too confusing, and too scattered. I just could not connect to this story although I can understand why many people will probably find it relatable to some degree.
