Quicksilver: 1 (Fae & Alchemy)

Saeris Fane, a twenty-four-year-old survivor, fights ruthlessly to stay alive in a harsh desert land. An orphan with a younger brother, Hayden, she spends her days stealing and scavenging—driven by one simple dream: to build a safe home with enough water for them both.The story unfolds through a series of gripping events that kept me turning the pages, eager to see what would happen next. Like many in this genre, the world is layered with multiverses and realms. After stealing a prized possession from Queen Madra’s guard, Saeris finds herself facing death itself—only to uncover secrets she’s kept even from those closest to her.By accident, she opens the gate to the fae realms—ushering in beings she thought existed only in stories: fae and vampires. Caught among wicked warriors and sinister rulers, Saeris must fight harder than ever to survive.The climax builds into a nail-biting finish, though I did feel some parts echoed familiar tropes from other romantasy novels. Still, the war scenes, vivid landscapes, and rich worldbuilding blend perfectly into the story. The pacing flows smoothly and keeps you hooked throughout.Overall: If you’re a fan of romantasy, this one’s definitely worth picking up.

A bit folded from end but overall good

Page and print Quality is good.. and This one is Slow Burn so yeahh its a heads up only (Don't wanna give any Spoilers) n I liked it too.

Written so beautifully... And the plot was mind blowing...it has me gripping to my seat till the end... I couldn't put the book down... I loved it

What to say! Absolutely loved the MC. She's not a damsel but a brave girl who'd lived through tough times and she's resilient and I love that about her. FISHERRRRR!!! Anyone who reads this book would absolutely fall in love with Fisher! He's the PERFECT male. I loved every second of his presence in the book! Every other characters like Ren, Layne, Carrion, Lorreth and more were absolutely amazing too! And the villians were absolutely awesome too.... Like I didn't expect the events that happened towards the ending....! Loveddddd this book! And that ltast chapter though! Whew! Did not expect that!!!!

The book looked so beautiful and unique!the quality of the book was quite good.the story was enthralling and the character of Kingfisher is simply amazing!

It has cured my reading slump!!I wont leave a big review here except for the tropes so please mind the mild spoilers below.Fae and VampiresEnemies to loversFated matesFound FamilyUnique magic system

Highly recommend reading and hearing the book simultaneously.. it’s another experience can’t wait for Brimstone already preorderedLove it .. great read

Twist and turns, he’s grumpy and abrasive, she isn’t much better

Me encantó la forma en que la escritora describió lugares y acciones de los personajes tan fácilmente y puedo decir hermosamente que me enganchó desde el primer capítulo, incluso cuando menos me lo esperaba me surgían preguntas que para mi buen gusto fueron contestadas rápidamente.Obviamente hay partes en los que uno se esperaba que ciertas circunstancias pasaran pero creo que es por que ya tengo experiencia leyendo varios libros de fantasía y me atrevo a decir que en ciertos momentos se me venía a mi cabeza otros títulos de famosas escritoras pero bueno como dije antes para mi bloqueo de lectora no estuvo tan mal.Uff!! no puedo esperar leer el siguiente libro, incluso grité un poco cuando me di cuenta que había llegado al final del libro.

This was such a roller coaster. I really love this book. Wasn’t expecting it even if it’s been so hyped all over booktok. Kingfisher has my heart. He’s earned his place in my top 5 book boyfriends. And then there’s Saeris. I love how impulsive she is. So strong and she doesn’t even know how strong.The first part was not so interesting to me. But once you get over the first 20% of the book you will not want to put it down. Last 20% is packed with action, revelations and surprises and while I was sure about some of them ( like Madra for example), others I did not see coming at all. The last sentence of the book got me so hyped for the next one in the series I cannot wait to see what’s gonna happen next!

the writing created such sharp and vivid imagery. The characters, the plot, the relationship, the crescendo of the story. JUST. WOW. I accidentally stumbled across a recommendation for this book and I'm glad I took heed. Beautifully written.

“do not touch the sword. do not…turn the key!” he panted. “do not open the gate! you—you’ve no idea the hell you will unleash on this place!”my favourite author, writing fantasy romance? i’m on my knees. featuring an intelligent, determined and strong fmc blessed with unique magic. a morally grey mmc that is half mentally unhinged, self-sacrificing and wields shadows. a nail-biting adventure full of prophecies, rare abilities, a found family of warriors and an alluring albeit scary world of mystical creatures. i'm obsessed!quicksilver is an absolute delight to devour and featured everything i want and need in my fantasy romance. it left me cursing, giggling and screaming, on the verge of tears and kicking my feet with sheer giddiness. it contained the perfect mixture of action, adventure, fantasy and romance. a blend of enemies to lovers, a found family, fae trickery, fated mates and unfulfilled prophecies.there's something so haunting and ethereal about the winter palace of yvelia; the hot, sandy dunes of zilvaren a contrast but it all feels equally and wonderfully enthralling. i’m content that we were introduced to these fantastic towns and realms with enough detail, but feel that there's still plenty of history and culture to learn and devour!saeris fanedespite being human, saeris fane isn't weak or feeble. she’s smart-mouthed and quick-witted and physically capable of protecting herself and her family. she's still emotionally vulnerable, someone determined to survive (and offer her brother a safe home to thrive in) in a cruel, harsh world ruled by an immortal woman whose hatred for the third ward knows no bounds. it was an absolute journey watching saeris embrace her strange, rare alchemist powers with determination and overcome the hurdles she encountered learning about quicksilver and its magical properties.kingfisheri love and adore kingfisher. he's a tall, dark and handsome brooding mess who's a little mentally insane but has this sweet, humorous side underneath the shield of stoicness he carries. he was the ultimate combination of alluring and dangerous beneath the swirling, intricate shadows that follow his movements. underneath everything however, there’s a soft, broken-hearted male fae. someone who cares about his realm, his found family and saeris—even when he refuses to show or acknowledge it. this man, with all of his ruthlessness and stubbornness, made me swoon. fisher was smitten with saeris. you can tell with the ways he challenged her and had her squirming during their interactions and conversations. everytime he called her little osha, i kicked my feet in excitement and screamed into my pillow. his trust and inevitable kindness towards saeris is something remarkable to witness.saeris + kingfishersaeris and kingfisher have me body, mind, soul and heart. they remind me so much of sloane romera and zeth mayfair from callie hart’s other series, blood and roses. the way they pushed and pulled at each other was mouth watering. the romance was everything, it burned so slow, so well. the tension of enemies to lovers left me in an absolute chokehold. i was on my knees within a second, begging for all of the saeris and fisher scenes. the heat? the spice? it had me frothing, it was delicious and delectable.found family/lupo proeliai loved the found family aspect in this! everlayne is an absolute sweetheart and she welcomed saeris into her home and life without hesitation. renfis and lorreth have the best bromance and camaraderie with kingfisher, i’m keeping my fingers crossed that we’ll see more of the lupo proelia in the next book! a definite honourable mention to carrion, whose humour and banter left me smiling and laughing, he was such a delight to have around.quicksilver is one of, if not, my favourite read (is it too early to state that?) of 2024. i could continue to rave and enthuse about quicksilver down to minute detail, but you need to read this with eyes wide open. it made me feel and thrive; smile and giggle and scream. truthfully, i don’t want to return to my reality where kingfisher and sharp-toothed fae are non-existent.i need it to be october tomorrow because i’m not certain i’m able to wait that long to know what happens next!
