Quicksilver by Callie Hart

fast-paced

4.5

This gave all the romantasy vibes I’ve been wanting. I loved the MMC and the FMC. Along with all the side characters. Carrion might be my absolute favorite. I’m giving this 4.5 and not 5 because I found the first 30% of the book to be a little slow and clunky and I was picking it up and putting it down a lot.

I forgot how much I love Tessa Bailey’s books. It was so cute and so spicy, and I genuinely laughed out loud multiple times. I also can’t wait for Sig and Chloe’s book!

I liked this book! Loved the 2 main characters. I took 1 star away because I don’t really like dual timelines. And I feel like it was split pretty 50/50 and it should have been like 20% past and 80% present. But I do see why the past timeline was necessary/important. Can’t wait to read more from this author!

Did not finish book. Stopped at 16%.
I didn’t find the characters personalities likeable and there’s too many books to keep reading one I don’t love.

This was good! It was a beauty and the beast mixed with mythology retelling. I finished it in a day! Such a fun read! And it’s a standalone.

This book was amazing. It felt like a grittier and more mature mulan retelling. Merlin, the main character is amazing. I loved this setting to read about men and power and greed. I do think we’ll get a bit of a love triangle in the second book and I can’t wait.

I’m feeling overwhelmed. I do want to read this. But it’s not the right book for right now

I didn’t think I was in the mood for college/university hockey romances anymore but this one was really great! I loved how the author wrong their second chance romance and I love that there’s no 3rd act breakup.
