Ep 2 Quicksilver Favorites: Characters, Moments, and Chaos

Step into the quicksilver with book besties Hannah, Kinsey, and Karly as they take a deeper look at Quicksilver, book one in Callie Hart’s Fae & Alchemy series. This episode goes beyond the recap to highlight the hosts’ overall thoughts and reactions, their favorite characters, standout moments, and the quotes that left the strongest impression.

From Saeris Fane’s growth to Kingfisher’s most unforgettable lines, to Carrion Swift’s endless one-liners and comic relief, the squad revisits the heart of Quicksilver and the dynamics that made it such a standout romantasy read. They also spotlight beloved side characters, memorable scenes, and the reveals that had them theorizing long after the final page.

This episode is part of the larger Brimstone Prep & Recovery season, designed to get listeners caught up, keep them caught up, and recover together after the release of Brimstone on November 18, 2025. If you need only the essentials, start with the recap episode, but if you are looking for more depth and discussion, this is the perfect place to dive back in.

No matter where you are in your reread or how much you remember, this season is here so you never face fae bargains or alchemical spirals alone.

Grab your relics and prepare to dive into the Quicksilver. Sanity is not guaranteed.
