I had a good time reading this book. It was a different aspect of romantasy that I've read before so the experience was slightly new. However I didn't enjoy reading about the same mmc as the other romance led fantasy books I have previously read. It is boring to read about the same broody, somewhat feared and "different" mmc as before. Although he was somewhat better to read about. Also why the heck did they change the old book cover. I swear it just looks like a print that can be put on any other book and it would work, with it's generic lettering and colours.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (6 STARS)Quicksilver by Callie Hart completely consumed me 😭⚔️✨This book was intense, emotional, addictive, and impossible to put down. Every chapter felt like falling deeper into chaos, danger, and longing all at once.The tension?? INSANE.The chemistry?? Absolutely deadly.The emotional damage?? Unmatched.I was constantly switching between being shocked, stressed, obsessed, and completely in love with the characters.And the yearning in this book?? Yeah… that’s the kind of love that ruins you in the best way possible 🖤The world-building, the secrets, the betrayal, the emotions — EVERYTHING kept me hooked until the very last page.This is the kind of fantasy romance that completely takes over your brain and refuses to leave.⭐ Rating: 6/6💭 Mood: obsessed • emotional • stressed • in love • destroyed📖 I already need the next book immediately 😭
Well… this book definitely lived up to all its hype! Yes, it may be another sassy, headstrong FMC that ends up in a fae world and falls for a tall, dark-haired shadow daddy Romantasy that feels overly familiar- BUT, I feel like it was different enough to feel fresh. The unique magic system, the portals to other realms, the vampires- they all gave it a different aspect that kept me intrigued. I even got some Beauty and the Beast vibes through the beginning, which is always a good thing for me. There was a little “telling vs showing” and unnatural info-dumping in the dialogue at the beginning, but once the story got going, it really took off! The word building was incredible, the battle and action scenes were intense and graphic in the best way, and I absolutely loved all of the side characters! Carrion may be a new favorite character, and Kingfisher melted my heart with the way he sacrificed so much for his people. I’m interested to see how his and Saeris’s characters continue to develop in the next book. In short, I loved it! I do NOT love the cliffhanger, however… I can’t wait to read Brimstone!

THIS BOOK!! honestly such a good read Kingfisher is so fine and Saeris is such a baddie. My favorite character has to be Carrion
4.5 ⭐️This book was really good! The banter was good, and the way the author did the fated mates trope was done well also. I loved the found family aspect. The only problem I had was the pacing. It felt like there was a lot happening at one time or that it was moving so slow that it felt like nothing was happening. But, I still had fun with it.
Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate. In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn’t much a girl wouldn’t do for a glass of water. Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen’s reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares…but it turns out they’re real, and Saeris has landed herself right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed. The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist’s magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her. Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he’s the only way Saeris is going to make it home. Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details...
This was just a fun time. Very generic but it was not a bad book. I just cannot call this a slow burn when its a trilogy and they are already in love
Well, I finally tried my first Romantasy lol. I have seen such differing views on this one, and it scared me a little bit going in. I'm not a fantasy reader because sometimes the world-building can be too heavy for me. As someone with busy kids, I have to stop reading as quickly as I started. As someone with Aphantasia, I cannot envision the worlds, and thus makes it very difficult to input myself into a fantasy world and enjoy it. Quicksilver was my first go at a fantasy world since I was a teenager, and I will say that I enjoyed this one. Was it the best book ever written? Maybe not. I can see why a lot of the heavier fantasy readers didn't enjoy this one...but for a beginner romantasy reader? I feel like this one is absolutely perfect. The vibes were there. I do think book 2 will be even more enjoyable and I can't wait for that one. I was pleasantly surprised, because I went into this book COMPLETELY blind. I knew nothing other than people saying they loved it or hated it. I didn't read the blurb...nothing. And I was really happy that I was able to enjoy this book in its full capacity. SHES THICC though, holy I wasn't expecting THAT LOL. I also don't necessarily think I would consider this a true enemies to lovers, but alas LOL. But I did love the found-family aspect of this one!
Quicksilver is an absolute gem! From the very start, it pulls you into a world that feels both fresh and familiar, blending sci-fi elements with heart-pounding suspense. The plot is fast-paced and full of twists, keeping you guessing until the very end. Every chapter left me wanting more, and the stakes just kept rising.The characters were a standout for me. They’re smart, relatable, and incredibly layered. The protagonist, in particular, was someone I immediately connected with—her strength, wit, and vulnerability made her feel so real. The relationships she forms throughout the story feel natural, adding depth to an already engaging narrative.I also loved how the book handled its sci-fi elements. The technology and world-building were fascinating but never felt overcomplicated or too technical. Everything was woven seamlessly into the story, making it accessible even for readers who don’t usually dive into science fiction.By the time I reached the final pages, I was fully invested and completely satisfied with how everything wrapped up. Quicksilver is the perfect blend of action, emotion, and creativity. It’s one of those books that you just can’t stop thinking about, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a thrilling, immersive read.
Honestly, I wasn't feeling it too much for the whole first half of the book. It was interesting but just didn't.. pull me in and I struggled to read it. I did however, smash the second half of the book out in a day and oh my god. So glad I kept going and so glad book two is ALREADY OUT
Quicksilver was such a fun surprise for me. The world building is immersive without being overwhelming, and it sets the stage for a story that feels both gritty and emotional. The tension runs through the entire book, not just in the plot but in the relationships, which kept me invested the whole way through. Saeris is a standout protagonist, strong and capable without falling into the “overly stubborn” or helpless tropes that can sometimes make characters frustrating. Her growth feels natural, and it’s easy to root for her. The dynamic between her and Fisher is one of the highlights of the story. Their relationship develops in a way that feels earned, adding depth without taking over the plot. Carrion brings a much-needed balance with his humor and personality, giving the story moments of levity that keep it from feeling too heavy. Overall, the book delivers a satisfying mix of character development, tension, and emotional payoff. The ending felt rewarding and tied the journey together in a way that made the whole experience worth it.
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!
Love! Quicksilver had me invested. I felt very captivated by the storyline and grew to enjoy majority of the characters, normally I find I don't enjoy vampire based fantasies much but I felt this was a good balance between my normal go-to fae fantasy reads with the exposure to the vampire world towards the end. Intrigued to see where this series goes.
Everything I wanted it to be and more. Love. One of my favourite fantasy reads of the year.
