When I say this book shocked my brain, I'm not exaggerating. Although a slow start, the book engages your mind with familiar aspects of the genre but weaves in delicious twists and turns that are truly unique to this author and world. It only took 20 pages for me to cancel my plans, read between traffic lights (just kidding), read while cooking and ignore my husband for an entire two days. I even stayed up late reading, fell asleep, got a good 6 hours of sleep and immediately resumed reading. The world building, division between races and political power plays just captivated me! Oh and don't forget the spice, which was oh so nice!
The characters are all likeable and the villains are truly villainous but you oddly like them for exactly what they are; destined to be destroyed for the atrocities they committed and in no way redeemable but also formidable. The banter among characters is fun, witty and sometimes has just the right level of smoulder.
Saeris and Fisher are lively and colorful but also so conplex that I can't wait to dig in more to their story in the future. Carrion and Ren, too, have bigger roles to play and I'm anxious to know more because I'm always 100% here for the loveable right hand man and the rougish, loveable scoundrel.
The book has the right level of mystery and well timed breadcrumb reveals as well as HUGE revelations that were sometimes shocking and sometimes a fantastic pay off for early on fan theories. ( I love when I guess something correctly but how it plays out surprises me; the best of both worlds).
Although the story ends with somewhat of a nice tied up bow, it leaves you wanting more and more especially now that the pieces are moving, villains revealed, gods out of play and characters tied together by love, fate, blood and power.

An instant #1 New York Times bestseller!
The global phenomenon by Callie Hart--a highly addicting enemies-to-lovers Romantasy with razor-sharp banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance.
Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.
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. In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn’t much a girl wouldn’t do for a glass of water. 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 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...

I will read any fae romance PERIODT!!!
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐.75/5Before I get attacked, I'm a newer romantasy reader and this book was daunting to start strictly because so many people hyped it up one thing about me is I will read any popular booktok book (bc FOMO).I think after finishing it and really letting the book settle in my brain, I would raise my rating to a solid four stars but immediately after reading it I would give it a 3.75.I felt like I was forcing myself to get through the first half of the book and this was the longest it's taken me to read a book in a long time. Don't get me wrong, it's a chonky book but usually, if I'm intrigued and interested I would've read this quicker.Let's talk about the world. I really enjoyed the world building and I'm a sucker for a fae romantasy. Was I confused through like 30% of the book? Yes. I definitely just powered through and pretended I understood what was going on.Character thoughts:I'm just gonna put it out there that I did not like Saeris for a majority of the book and that could just be me honestly. I just felt like in the beginning she was a badass and then once she met Kingfisher she like lost her *sparkle.* I don't know how to explain it but I usually love a FMC with attitude but the only reason I liked her character was because she kept Onyx.As for Kingfisher, I hate to be the bearer of bad news. I also had a hard time accepting his name because I kept giggling every time I read it especially when characters just called "fisher" or "fish." This was crazy because I'm a sucker for a dark hair, fae, broody MMC and I just couldn't understand his stance (probably due to not having his POV). In the end, I ended up coming around and appreciating him but it was definitely a process.I just had an inkling about Carrion and I can't wait for his character to be developed more in the next book. Also, where'd Onyx go in the latter half of the book...I missed him!I am looking forward to the next book! I hope in the next book we get more information on Hayden.

SUMMARY:
Saeris Fane is good at staying under the radar in the unforgiving desert that is the Silver City. She has been picking pockets, siphoning water and sneaking out of the quarantined 3rd Ward for as long as she can remember. But her luck can only continue for so long. In a bid to save her brother from her own mistakes, she finds herself at the mercy of the undying queen. Saeris comes face-to-face with Death and inadvertently opens a gateway between worlds. She unwittingly binds herself to that shadow of Death and finds herself a pawn in his plan to protect his people. They say that the Devil is in the details — be careful of the deals you make.
REVIEW:
This book is quite a ride! The relationship between the FMC & MMC is exactly what I want in a fantasy enemies to lovers. She is strong and independent, he is grumpy and overbearing and their relationship is very adversarial for much of the book, which I LOVE. The banter between characters is very entertaining and the TENSION is top-tier. This is a medium burn that does pay off with some great, steamy scenes.
There is a quite a bit more lore and worldbuilding in this book than I was expecting, but it does not occur up-front. At some points, the background information is mentioned after events occur as an explanation, but it felt a little like an afterthought. The interconnected background / storylines of the fae, vampires, gods, etc. became a bit confusing for me. There are certainly unfinished storylines that leave things wide open for a continuation of this series, so perhaps more will be explained in the next book.
This book is single POV, but the audiobook has duet narration — the female dialogue is voiced by Stella Bloom and the male dialogue is voiced by Anthony Palmini. 🤌🏻
I’ll be honest, for the first 30% of the book, I would have rated a 3⭐️, 30% - 90% is a 5⭐️ and the last 10% of the book is a 4⭐️. With all that said, I really enjoyed this book overall. The premise was very interesting, there is quite a bit of action to keep you engaged and the relationships dynamics and dialogue were amazing. I look forward to reading the next book.

2025年1月29日在美国发布评论I really enjoyed this book. The banter had me giggling so much. I think Carrion is my favorite character and genuinely believe he carried most of the story.
There was so much action and twists and turns. I didn’t expect this to be a book about fae, vampires, and even mentioned dragons at one point.
The only think I didn’t like was the way the MMC spoke. Something about the setting of the story didn’t align with how the MMC spoke. It annoyed me only slightly. The rest? It was fabulous!
Definitely can’t wait for the next book!

5.0 颗星,最多 5 颗星 ✨ For those who live their nightmares so that others may have their dreams.✨
What an absolute ride! This book was INCREDIBLE. It had everything we could ever want in a romantasy. Callie writes characters so well. I definitely had visceral and definite reactions to so many characters.
Quicksilver had the perfect balance between plot and romance. Neither outshined the other. The battle scenes were pretty good, with just the right amount of gruesome details to get the point across.
Both MCs are amazing, the banter is out of this world.
The sides characters are also fantastic, special shoutout to carrion and his wit and crude humor.
I kn ow this is a long book but honestly I could've read 500 more pages of this story. Can't wait for the next book

5.0 颗星,最多 5 颗星 kochasz romantasy? PRZECZYTAJ QUICKSILVERA
<recenzja będzie w pol-Englishu bo w końcu nie ma tej książki jeszcze po polsku>
Absolutnie fantastyczna książka! Mnóstwo emocji, pyszniutkie klasyczne enemies to lovers, mamy slow burn i unikalny magiczny świat, mamy nieirytującą i sprytną główną bohaterkę (Saeris), wybitnego shadow daddy głównego bohatera (Kingfisher), ciekawie zapowiadające się found family/pobocznych bohaterów, których pokochasz (Carrion!!) i fajny banter, dla mnie jedna z top 3 książek 2024, bawiłam się na niej wyśmienicie + pękało mi serce, ale czyż nie o to właśnie tu chodzi?
Pierwsza połowa Quicksilvera jest wolniejsza, skupia się na world buildingu, ale później, gdy już się rozkręca - nie da się tej książki odłożyć, jest tam TYLE EMOCJIIII! Kingfisher wjechał (i to na pełnym splendorze) na sam szczyt mojej listy ukochanych MMC; dla tych, co kochają Rhysanda/Xadena - Fisher jest bardziej dark & stormy, to taki tormented & less vanilla Rhys with filthy mouth. 🌶️🌶️🌶️👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 pokochałam tych bohaterów, nie mogę doczekać się drugiej części tej serii (jest zapowiadana na jesień 2025); po skończeniu Quicksilvera NATYCHMIAST miałam ochotę na reread. Warto wiedzieć, że mamy aktualnie 3 bonusowe rozdziały Quicksilvera na stronie autorki - do tego są to rozdziały z (yay!!) POV Kingfishera (tylko uwaga - do przeczytania PO lekturze książki, bo sobie zaspojlujecie niektóre rzeczy). Jedyna uwaga - ta książka byłaby jeszcze lepsza, gdyby cała była napisana z dual POV, bo czytanie wyłącznie perspektywy Saeris (FMC) nie dało mi takiej frajdy (ani nie pozwalało zrozumieć co się tak naprawdę dzieje i dlaczego), jaką dałoby analizowanie biegu wydarzeń mając również wgląd w perspektywę Kingfishera (MMC). Ach, co za przepyszna książka, wspaniałe doświadczenie, bawiłam się świetnie.
