Quicksilver (The Fae & Alchemy Series Book 1)

Hermes--also known as Mercury, Wayfinder, and Prince of Thieves--has many talents. Wearing his famed winged sandals, he does the bidding of his father Zeus, leads the dead down to Hades, and practices his favorite arts of trickery and theft. He also sees the future, travels invisibly, loves jokes, and abhors violence. And he's an entertaining and ideal narrator on a fast-paced journey through ancient Greek mythology--from Medusa's cave to Trojan War battlefields to the mysterious Underworld.
Stephanie Spinner brings the famous messenger--and the best-known gods and mortals of mythology--to life with high action and spare, powerful prose.

“It’s under the most unbearable conditions that the sharpest, most dangerous weapons are forged…The quicksilver rippled in the crucible, geometric patterns forming and reforming over its surface. It was beautiful to look at, but strange—I hadn't seen it behave like this before. ‘Yes, a good secret. Very good. You want to stay. You want to save him. You must. You must…Not the brother. The Kingggfisshhherrr…Save him. Save the gates. Save Yyvelia…We are token. Key. Relic. Shield…Seal us with blood, Alchemist’...Blood. It always came down to blood in the end.” “‘I give you my blood in thanks, Saeris Fane.’ ‘Human’ had come first. Then ‘Oshellith,’ or ‘Osha,’ said with a hefty amount of disdain. Then ‘Little Osha,’ which had first been mocking but then shifted to endearment. But Fisher had said my name. Finally…Human, Fae, or Vampire. It doesn't matter how long you live, Saeris, you will always be most sacred to me." “He sat there, his bare, inked chest not moving, his black waves tumbling into his face, so perfect, so handsome, and that cursed fucking thing deep down in the basement of my soul ached and said mine.” A land of faeries and lesser Fae creatures—fire sprites, water sprites, air sprites and earth sprites. Madra, Belikon, Malcolm; Human, Fae, Vampire: three regents triumvirate. “There are countless realms out there, waiting to be found. Make one of them yours.” Callie Hart’s Quicksilver is a gift “For those who live their nightmares, so that others may have their dreams.”

I don't even know if I can formulate thoughts for this. I was a little less than half way through and already was wanting to start over and re-read it so it wouldn't end so soon. I went into this knowing the hype and having zero expectations because of that. I stayed away from reviews so I wouldn't read any spoilers...not even reading the synopsis on Amazon. When I tell you it was everything I wasn't expecting and more... I chose to have my first "read" be on Audible because one of the things I heard the most was that the voice actors did so well...and did they ever! I would have driven myself crazy not knowing pronunciations of characters and places had I dove straight into the physical/digital copy. Now when I go back and do my re-read (because I will SO be doing that! lol) I'll be able to annotate and appreciate it better. For the sake of not being one of the people I tried to avoid in the reviews, I won't spoil anything...but just do yourself a favor and read this. When I heard "This is the end of Quicksilver", I literally screamed "Noooo!" because I didn't want it to end. And it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger...because of course it did. I still feel like the ending is satisfying for the time being though so the cliffhanger didn't gut me too badly lol. If you're still on the fence as to whether to read it or not...just do it. You won't regret it.
