Quicksilver (The Fae & Alchemy Series Book 1) | 
so-soI feel like the story itself has so much more potential.
Really hope the next part will have more detailed descriptions of the different species living in the realms and more places to discover 💫
The spice was just perfekt not to cringey and the right amount of „handling”🌶️
In the end it still had to many irrelevant actions
Maybe my expectations were just too high after all the recommendations 🙇🏻♀️
All in all it still had a hold on me
pickThis is just a rip roarer of a book — it grabs you as you begin and doesn‘t really let go again until the end. I found the story really intense and engrossing, and the characters compelling, if not always entirely likeable. The world building was maybe a little lacking, but strong enough. And the cliffhanger was NOT what I thought it would be at all, which was a nice surprise. If you like epic fantasy with a handful of smut, highly recommend.
I had a tough time picking my favorite for this month so I went for tagged because it was the most fun read. I read it slowly because I was savoring it. Way more world building and character development than most Romantasy and I really wish it had a better cover.
Tackling this chonker while I‘m on vacation — just glad I grabbed it on Kindle Unlimited and don‘t have to haul it around😅
pickThis was a delightful surprise. One of the few buzzy Romantasy books that I genuinely enjoyed. This is probably because it has actual world building, the romance is a slow burn and the steamy scenes are not cringy or over done. I really enjoyed this and look forward to more in this world. 5⭐️

pickThere's so many of these fantasy/romance book series out there now and a lot of them miss the mark for me. Sometimes the world building is so chaotic and filled with unusual names and words that it's just too much. The underlying themes are usually yawningly similar.
Quicksilver worked though. It did get a bit slow in the middle, but made up for it by the end. Truly enjoyed this! So many interesting things happened. I neeeed the next book now. 5⭐
pickFirst read of 2025!
This book was so good! Loved the banter and the world and the romance and also the side characters. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

so-soThere was no emotion coming off the FMC & MMC unless they were banging. Last 20% of the book is good, spice was good, but I don‘t understand Kingfisher as everyone‘s new book boyfriend; I simply cannot lust over a 1700 year old male who never learned how to communicate properly.
I‘m usually pretty lenient with the first of a series, I know we need time for worldbuilding & establishing the systems, but this wasn‘t anything too new & took forever.
I think I hate this book. I think I‘m being trolled by all the reviews of “ACOTAR Vibes” & “Kingfisher is the best book boyfriend”
Did Injust expect too much?
Will I change my mind?
pickLoved this! Romantasy at its finest and can see why people get so hyped about this. Took this photo in front of the new bookshelf my husband refurbished for me. It‘s so beautiful.

panUgh!!! I like a good first draft, this was not good, but read like a draft. Predictable. Very fanfiction-y.
She's not like the other girls. He can't stand her. But they are drawn together...
The banter was very YA (fae don't know what a ghost is, but know what Cliffs Notes are?). It's only NA or even adult Romantasy because swearing and 🌶️
I'm definitely not the target audience for this train wreck.

Organising my materials for examining (bottom right)
Finished Shopping for a Highlander (re-read)
Started Quicksilver (recommended by a friend, not sure it's for me)
so-soI have very mixed feelings about this book. I did finish it but parts were just annoying. Parts felt tired. There were a couple characters i was curious about, and a few directions of the story i was also curious about. It‘s a very ppopular fantasy romantasy on goodreads- just not one i love. #hyggehourreadathon
