Step into the quicksilver with book besties Kinsey and Karly as they close out the Brimstone Prep phase with a deep dive into the Quicksilver bonus chapters: The Gate: Part 1, The Gate: Part 2, The Maze, and The Fox. The Boots. The Dress.

In this episode, the hosts revisit these pivotal Kingfisher POV scenes to uncover their hidden meanings and the lore connections that might shape Brimstone. From godswords, dragons, and true names to the twin goddesses, Zareth, and the lingering mysteries of the Fae and Alchemy world, they explore what these moments reveal about Kingfisher's past and the divine chaos yet to come!

This episode marks the final stop in Brimstone Prep & Recovery, wrapping up everything listeners need to know before Brimstone releases on November 18th, 2025. Next up: Recovery mode, where the hosts share their first reactions, favorite moments, and early theories after reading the book. 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.

*This episode includes spoilers for Quicksilver by Callie Hart, including the four bonus chapters listed above.*
