Fae & Alchimie - tome 1 - Quicksilver

Everything I wanted it to be and more. Love. One of my favourite fantasy reads of the year.

Rating: 4.5 stars.“For those who live their nightmares, so that others may have their dreams.”I’m honestly still on the fence about my rating for this one, and I might even come back to adjust it later. The story started off so strong; the opening completely pulled me in and had me thinking this was going to be an easy five stars. But once I hit the middle section (around the 200 page mark), things started to drag. The pacing dipped, the plot lost focus, and I found myself wondering where it was even heading. At that point, it felt like a 3.5 or 3.25-star read. Still, with all the amazing reviews floating around, I decided to stick with it, and thank goodness I did, because that ending?? Absolute chaos in the best possible way. BOOM. BAM. BOOH.. WHAT EVEN?!

I loved this book so much. It’s the first in the series, but it never felt slow. I connected with the characters right away, and the story kept me hooked. I can’t wait for book two!

Is it the best? No but it's a fun ride.

My first top favorite of 2025 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
