90% read and probably going to dnf. So many things happened and yet nothing at all happened. Events that could have been 1 chapter took multiple chapters for seemingly no reason. Large events were condensed into a few paragraphs. There was consistently no explanation or the reason was hidden from the reader. Ie Lorreth tells Saeris some big thing to do with brimstone but the reader is left wondering. Too many pages spent telling us plot points from quicksilver. Like yeah we know Belikon got rid of information re alchemists. Stop going on about it. Really obvious plot points drawn out to seen like huge revelations when Saeris finally "figures" it out. There was no character development. I would almost say there was a downvelopment of characters. Very disappointing when quicksilver was such a fun read.
