Quicksilver follows Saeris Fane. Saeris is a 24 year old who is having to steal to support herself and her little brother. She ends up stealing a piece of the guard’s armor and gets caught. She is taken back to the Queen’s palace to be executed and ends up being pulled into another realm instead.

After reading the first chapter, I was hooked. I wanted to keep reading about Saeris’ adventure. The banter between Saeris and Kingfisher was top notch! I do think Hart could have explained some things better. The concept of quicksilver and the gods could’ve been explained in a better way. I also think this book would’ve been even better if the book was written from both Kingfisher and Saeris. Also, at the beginning of the book, Saeris talks about how the Queen of her land has been ruling for over 1,000 years but then she is shocked when she learns that fae are real. How did she think it was possible for the Queen to rule for over 1,000 years? 🤔
