Book Review: Quicksilver by Callie Hart – A Spellbinding Journey into Fae and Alchemy
Callie Hart’s Quicksilver is a thrilling, magical ride that will captivate your imagination and leave you eagerly waiting for more. Set in a world where alchemy and Fae intersect, Quicksilver brings readers on an adventure that is anything but ordinary. It’s a world where each beaker holds a sense of wonder, and every turn promises a new discovery.
One of the standout aspects of this book is the introduction of King Fischer, my personal new favorite shadow daddy. His character lives up to the hype that’s been circulating through the BookTok world, and I must admit, he delivers on every front. His mysterious, dark presence combined with his intense yet compassionate nature makes him irresistible.
For those of you who, like me, appreciate an auditory experience, I highly recommend the Quicksilver audiobook. Narrated by the talented Stella Bloom and Anthony Palmini, their dynamic voice pairing breathes life into this captivating world. The way they bring the characters and the magical setting to life is nothing short of exceptional. The duo’s portrayal of the playful banter between characters adds an exciting, humorous layer to the book that had me laughing and blushing all at once.
What really stands out is the chemistry between the characters—especially the banter. There’s a delightful tension in the dialogue that’s both witty and charged with emotion, making every interaction feel electric. Whether it's playful teasing or more intense exchanges, it never loses its charm. It’s one of those books that you’ll catch yourself smiling at, even when you’re not reading.
As the story unfolds, we get lost in the intricate layers of Fae magic and alchemical wonders that Hart expertly weaves together. The world-building is rich and immersive, offering a vivid picture of this unique universe where Fae creatures and powerful alchemists collide. Each chapter reveals new secrets, and just when you think you’ve seen it all, Callie Hart pulls you deeper into the narrative.
As we await for the next installment in this thrilling series, due for release in the fall of 2025, it’s safe to say that Quicksilver has us hooked. The adventure, the magic, and the irresistible King Fischer have me eagerly counting the days until we get more of this world. Thank you, Callie Hart, for creating something truly unforgettable. We are all in, and we can’t wait for what’s next!
If you haven’t picked up Quicksilver yet, do yourself a favor and dive into this magical, alchemical world—you won’t regret it!
