Publisher Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling romantasy series continues with more drama, higher stakes, and deadly consequences.
Duty. Blood. Honor. Power.
Saeris Fane doesn’t want power. The very last thing she needs is her name whispered on an entire court’s lips, but now that she’s been crowned queen of the Blood Court, she’s discovering that a queen’s life is not her own. A heavy weight rests upon her shoulders. Her ward—and her brother—need her back in her homeland…but the changes that have strengthened Saeris have also made her weak. Born under blazing suns, Saeris will surely die if she makes her way home through the Quicksilver. Which means that, once again, she must send someone else in her stead...
“Keep your mouth shut. Stick to the shadows. And for the love of all seven Gods, do NOT crack any jokes.”
Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate has defeated armies and survived all manner of horrors, but traveling back to Zilvaren with Carrion Swift might just be the death of him. The male just will not shut up. Hidden dangers await them down the narrow alleyways of the Silver City. Unfolding secrets pose impossible threats. Fisher must wrangle the smuggler and accomplish his goals quickly if he wants to see his mate again.
A darkness falls across Yvelia. The realm and their friends are in danger. Together, Saeris and Fisher will pass through fire and brimstone to save them.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A young alchemist’s journey into a fantastical new realm takes on perilous stakes in this sequel to Callie Hart’s broody romantasy Quicksilver. Saeris Fane’s life has become unrecognizable since her journey into the mystical world of the Fae. Now a Fae-vampire hybrid, she’s thrust into power as queen of the Blood Court—though every eye that watches her seethes with disdain. Even if she can prove herself and turn her detractors into willing subjects, she’ll still have to navigate a heart-pounding labyrinth of risk and intrigue, all as the land of Yvelia faces unspeakable danger. We loved seeing Saeris grow as a character through her transformation from outsider to savior. Her warrior mate, Fisher, gets a chance to shine here too, and their chemistry gets more complex and steamy, making it easy to get swept away in this breathtaking story.
Customer Reviews
Love!
I loved the banter between characters the second book offered. I enjoyed the development of Carrion, Lorreth, and the introduction of Tal. It was also cool to see grow into Saeris her powers but there were points in which I was annoyed with her. She constantly was in her own way and is so freaking stubborn especially with characters who were trying to help her. I had been reading theories fans have been talking about regarding Kingfisher and was pleasantly surprised to see the connection between him and Styx. I’m excited for the next book.
Not complete
Enjoyable storyline, I like the dialogue between characters and character development. However this book didn’t feel like a complete book. Just as the characters are approaching the books name sake it ends… so Brimstone wasn’t even an accurate title for this section of the storyline. I don’t particularly enjoy books that end on major cliffhangers. Most series or trilogies have a feeling of completion of the story being told… all the Harry potters, lord of the rings, ect had an ending for their section of the story. Ending on a cliffhanger like the way this book does just leaves a person feeling dissatisfied. It actually would have been much more of a complete book if it had ended one chapter sooner with them passing through the gate and ending there. Hopefully I remember this book when the next installment comes around.
So bad
After the long wait for this book it couldn’t be more disappointing. The writing is atrocious and the characters seem totally different from the first book. The spicy scenes are so cringy and hard to read.
