I'm almost done reading Quicksilver. I was making good progress reading it myself, but with all of the distractions going on in my home I found a quicker way to read this book. I found an audiobook on Youtube and have been taking it to my advantage. What better way to play a mindless game, than listening to a book in the process. Currently my phone has died and needs to charge. Now I will say a lot happens in this book. So much so that I have no idea what to tell you without spoiling any of the book. We do have our lead female character Saeris who comes from a life of doing what she can to survive. The book is told in her point of view. I think the last time I posted, I mentioned that Saeris had opened a doorway to another realm and now she was trapped there until she could control a metal called quicksilver. Our male lead character is Kingfisher who is the black sheep of his kind, or you could say that of the Winter Palace. He has been leading a fight with an endless war for centuries before he disappeared for a time. At least until he heard the call of the quicksilver and retrieved a dying Saeris. For the majority of the book I thought that this was just going to be an enemy to friends trope but I was wrong. When these two finally give in to their feelings, the book gets a little spicy. But I do like the fact that the romance is kind of the sub plot of the book and the main plot is trying to figure out how to control the quicksilver and put an end to the endless war. Eventually Saeris does figure out how to work the quicksilver but it isn't a happy ending for her. Not when she learns that her and Kingfisher are fated to be together. You soon quickly learn that Kingfisher is willing to sacrifice himself in order to keep those that he love safe. And that is where my phone died. Kingfisher has run off to save his sister without telling anyone other than through a note, pissing off Saeris in the process. Then this is when my phone died and all I did was get to the part where Saeris used the shadowgate, that Kingfisher used to send his sister home through, in order to get to where he was and save him in the process. Now I'm patiently waiting for my phone to charge so I can find out what happens next. But I give the book four out of five stars. I really liked the plot with the touch of romance. These are the kinds of romance books I like. The ones that don't fully focus on the romance and making you frustrated that the characters just get over it already. Don't get me wrong. I knew this was a romance when I came in to the book, but it wasn't written like every other romance I've read. That is what I liked. It was different. I would recommend this book to those that are in that are not into that much romance but still like a touch of it. This book was pretty action packed and it actually took time for the main characters to learn about each other before falling for each other. I could write more about this book if I could. But I feel like I'm rambling.
So until next time...
