Quicksilver
by Callie Hart
🎧Audiobook
I’m rather late to the party with this read, but glad I finally got round to it! Only a short wait now for book two - as we are left on a cliffhanger.
When I started this book it all seemed too familiar a story, and it is…without having to squint too hard it’s an ACOTAR / Powerless / cliche romantasy mash up. Did I still read it all the way through? Yes. Was it still an enjoyable read? Also yes. It’s the “same story, different font” kinda deal.
It started a touch slow and then picked up without feeling rushed. Which is good cause the audio is just over 17 hours (if you keep it at 1x speed), and it felt like it flew by as the author kept the story moving. It had good bones and the story built well, connecting dots throughout and giving us snippets to fill in. And who doesn’t love a cute little companion to join the team, cause Onyx sounds adorable!
And I was happy when there was a bit of calling out the age gap that is so overlooked in all these fantasy books! It was a small thing, but something that just scratched an itch in my brain so well.
Overall a fun read/listen and looking forward to the next book!
