K I need everyone to stop what they are doing and read Quicksilver. Immediately. This is my roman empire. I need to talk about it! Help me help you!

I could not put this book down. It has everything. Humor, suspense, world building, amazing enemies to lovers, SPICE. GAH! Join me in this obsession with Kingfisher, Saeris, and their homies. 🙏🏼 I am not even mad that I read ANOTHER unfinished series because it’s THAT GOOD. No notes. Just trust me. Thank you, Callie, for blessing us with Kingfisher and his dirty, dirty mouth.

BRIMSTONE———————-

Listen, sequels are hard. I had SUCH high expectations for Brimstone. And it didn't quiiiiite live up to them.

The good: Kingfisher and Saeris are still goals, the side characters are still excellent, Carrion is still a menace and I love him. The dynamics with the Vampires: awesome. The creepy scene involving Everlayne: loved it. The SPICE is top tier and the Hazrax is fantastically strange.

The not so good: the pacing was off for me. It would fluctuate between slow and dragging to quick and abrupt. Lots of side quests that didn't feel like they moved the plot forward. I am left with a lot of questions and confusion. The book felt a bit like filler content and was too long.

I liked it, but not nearly as much as Quicksilver. I am hoping book 3 brings it all together. But Brimstone brought my overall series rating down from a 5 to a 4.5 - still love and highly recommend this series.
