Quicksilver (The Fae & Alchemy Series Book 1)
Quicksilver (The Fae & Alchemy Series Book 1) | Callie Hart
4 posts | 4 read | 8 to read
From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Callie Hart comes a brand new, highly addicting enemies-to-lovers Romantasy with razor-sharp banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance that you won't be able to put down! 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... N.B. Quicksilver contains depictions of graphic violence/adult situations and is therefore recommended for readers 17+.

Ugh!!! I like a good first draft, this was not good, but read like a draft. Predictable. Very fanfiction-y.

She's not like the other girls. He can't stand her. But they are drawn together...

The banter was very YA (fae don't know what a ghost is, but know what Cliffs Notes are?). It's only NA or even adult Romantasy because swearing and 🌶️

I'm definitely not the target audience for this train wreck.

Mehso-so

I have very mixed feelings about this book. I did finish it but parts were just annoying. Parts felt tired. There were a couple characters i was curious about, and a few directions of the story i was also curious about. It‘s a very ppopular fantasy romantasy on goodreads- just not one i love. #hyggehourreadathon

PuddleJumper I kept seeing this and wasn't sure. It looks very romantasy 2mo
Chrissyreadit @PuddleJumper If you want i can give you more specifics about what my opinion was- and yes it is romantasy. 2mo
PuddleJumper @Chrissyreadit I don't really like romantasy. I'm generalizing but I find a lot of the popular ones trite and a bit toxic! 2mo
Chrissyreadit @PuddleJumper Based on that i do not think this would be for you. 2mo
PuddleJumper @Chrissyreadit My rule of thumb is if the cover is pretty, I probably won't like it 🤣 2mo
