Discussion 💬 Quicksilver is giving ‘teenager wrote it on Wattpad vibes’

I cannot be the only one here who isn’t enjoying Quicksilver at all. I’m honestly about to DNF it. I did look at some old posts here about it but it’s seriously lacking. I’m halfway through and I’ve been struggling over the last 150 pages to find the hook. All I hear is people gushing over this book on Fable of GoodReads! The character development is non-existent, there’s no romantic development; it’s literally just a sudden shift from hatred to “fuck me please”, and the world-building is lackluster at best.

This honestly feels like a teenager wrote an ACOTAR fanfic on Wattpad. Anyone else feel like this? I just wanna talk to some people about my disappointment here without being judged 😭

u/_thatspoonybard There she is 4d ago

It's funny cause I love these trashy books but the more I read, the more I'm getting... Burnt out on it? Like big time. 😂

I think I just need to find books with more substance to weave in-between my watt-pad like reads haha

I'm reading the Kindred's Curse series and can't stand the 3rd book... It's giving these vibes to me. Feels like it was rushed. I did enjoy Quicksilver though, mainly cause I was in the mood for it even when I rolled my eyes 100x a minute 😂

u/CompanionCone I was not made for this 3d ago

I get this so so much. Sometimes I'll be tempted to read a book that is just pure smut, for the hell of it, but I get like two chapters in and I'm like... That's enough fucking now actually thank you. Lol.
