Loved each and every part of this book. I will definitely recommend this book to fiction, historical lovers. Your Rating:. Your Comment:. I'm actually quite frustrated with this one as I really liked Ultraviolet and thought it was truly epic. This one however was a total letdown as hardly anything happened and the plot was really slow paced. Her story was way more exciting and full of twists and turns whereas Nikki's tale just felt drab.
For a long while absolutely nothing happened exce Disappointing. For a long while absolutely nothing happened except for Nikki and Sebastian speculating about the danger they are in and there was all this technical shit that I totally didn't get.
The ending was really confusing view spoiler [in fact now I don't really understand what happened I think they cut off Nikki's arm with the quicksilver quicksilver is apparently programmable matter chip that Sebastian put there to protect himself and Alison from Mathis.
Then they throw an EMP bomb along with Nikki's severed arm through the wormhole that is triggered by the severing of Nikki's arm then the bomb fries all the transmission equipment on the other side rendering the relay device powerless hide spoiler ] at least that's what I think happens!
And what about GeneSystem? They were just dismissed, I'd have liked to hear more about them! And while I'm on it I would have liked more involvement from Mathis, I mean seriously he didn't even try to get his "precious" experiment back! I can't really explain why I didn't connect with Tori other than like I said her story just didn't seem to have the same intrigue of Alison's.
I mean the way the mystery was unraveled in Ultraviolet and the keen descriptions of Alison's "condition" was really awe inspiring for me. I mean her experiences were so unusual and philosophical and there was none of that supernatural awe in this book just everyday life mostly.
So in conclusion I'd say this book had some great ideas and even greater potential but it was executed very poorly. Before reading this I was hoping for more books in this series now I'm not so sure.. So disappointed. Ultraviolet was an incredibly original sci-fi novel that I enjoyed immensely last year. I was thrilled to find out that Quicksilver was coming out as a companion novel and was so pleased that it was quite possibly better than its predecessor. Tori knows that its only a matter of time before her past catches up with her and everyone in her life is going to be put at risk because of what she is.
Sebastian Faraday shows back up and confirms that she does have more to fear but that he has a plan to h Ultraviolet was an incredibly original sci-fi novel that I enjoyed immensely last year. Sebastian Faraday shows back up and confirms that she does have more to fear but that he has a plan to hopefully save them all from Mathis.
But it's going to take strength and perseverance in order for this to pay off, and even then the likelihood of success is slim. Quicksilver's story line was an intense thrill ride that never let up.
The writing was amazing and all the tiny intricate mechanical details and outer space facts made each word come alive. My main issue with sci-fi tends to be that it's so completely unbelievable, but R.
Anderson makes this science fiction word so completely real. As much as I loved Allison's story and her incredible gift in Ultraviolet, I loved the story being told from the point of view of Tori.
Tori was nothing like the blond, blue eyed, popular girl she showed the world. She was a tough, machine-building chick that had the strength to do whatever it took to keep herself and the ones she loved safe from harm. Quicksilver was extremely well done and I love how well wrapped-up each book manages to be. Ultraviolet's ending was an explosion of text with revelations that blew your mind, but I had no idea that I could expect more of the story. The ending of Quicksilver didn't have a cliffhanger, but definitely left the possibility for a future story.
And boy do I hope that happens. Highly recommended for sci-fi lovers looking for highly original characters with an elaborate story line. Feb 07, Sherwood Smith added it Shelves: sf.
Quicksilver follows on from Ultraviolet , though I think one could start with the second one but why would you want to? Ultraviolet was one of my favorite books of This one follows Tori, who didn't really come into Ultraviolet until near the end--she was the cause of Alison's being thrown into a mental hospital. Tori and her parents have abruptly left their home, changed their names.
Dad got a far less well-paying job, and Mom is coping in her own ways, as the parents are determined to prot Quicksilver follows on from Ultraviolet , though I think one could start with the second one but why would you want to? Dad got a far less well-paying job, and Mom is coping in her own ways, as the parents are determined to protect their daughter, who is. But the parents don't know how strange Tori now Nikki is. She's keeping some of her discoveries to herself. Though she loves and trusts her parents, she sees their weaknesses clearly, and so she reinvents herself not only at school and at her job, but for them.
Around the time she meets her first real friend, a boy named Milo, the sinister Deckard, a police detective, catches up with the family. He left the force, and is now a hireling of a really sinister-sounding biotech company who wants Nikki for testing.
But far more threatening, the force behind Alison's and Nikki's previous adventures are also after her, and her only ally is Sebastien Faraday, with whom Alison bonded, but Nikki knows his weaknesses, too. The tension rises resolutely as they slowly feel closed in by these inimical forces, and then have to go on the run, as clues begin to fall together. Nikki's nature is handled with clear-eyed sensitivity, the characters are vivid and complex, the storyline full of interesting twists, intensified toward the climax with glimpses of the numinous.
We even get to see Alison again. Another winner from Anderson. View 1 comment. Feb 18, AH rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites , science-fiction , arc-netgalley , urban-fantasy , babr-reviews , zzread-nov , canadian-content , 5-stars.
First impressions This book messed with my head but in a good way. Quicksilver is a companion novel to Ultraviolet and it fills in the gaps and gives the reader a different character's perspective.
Highly recommended that one reads Ultraviolet first. So looking forward to the next book! I hope there is one. Actual review Quicksilver is First impressions Quicksilver is being marketed as a companion novel to Ultraviolet however, in a way, the story does move forward only from a different perspective, so it can be seen as a sequel. Quicksilver will mess with your mind — but in a good way.
In Toronto, Tori works at a large supermarket, a job she is clearly overqualified for. She fears being detected by the people who want to study her. Faraday is convinced that Tori is in grave danger.
They must work together to destroy a relay that led Faraday to Tori before the others can use it. The author writes in such a way that you are never really sure what to believe.
I think that one of the things that makes this series so fantastic to read is the character development. These characters are not one dimensional — they function on so many levels. In Quicksilver, Tori has to be one of the most resourceful, smart, and interesting characters I have read yet. Her engineering skills are off the charts fantastic, and her dedication to her friends and family is incredible.
The men in this book made me swoon. I loved how Milo was portrayed as a young Korean boy who was expected to go to medical school and become a doctor. And wow! There is a part of this book that made me speechless. What a way to write a novel.
Then go out and buy yourself a copy of Quicksilver. This is a series like no other and these books are best read with a fresh mind. Avoid all spoilers and enjoy the ride.

Friendship is one of the most important things there is I hate it when people talk like friendship is less than other kinds of-as though it's some sort of runner-up prize for people who can't have sex. I had a boyfriend once, but I never liked being with him the way I like being with you. And that is everything to me. Then he said, "You mean that, don't you. You're not just trying to make me feel better.
Then he looked up again and said, "Okay. Finding out Milo legitimately cared about me and wanted to be around me, even if there was no chance of us hooking up, was enormous.
I wanted to show him how glad I was for his friendship, how warm and bubbly it made me feel to have him by my side. I wanted to take his hand, lean my head on his shoulder, maybe even hug him. Let's all just take a moment to appreciate that Anderson, unlike apparently many authors, actually knows what-and how important and life-changing- friendship is. I mean, yeah you could tell the whole way through that Milo was her best friend and ready and willing to be "just" that but that he also wanted something more.
So I'm not entirely sure what to think of the ending. However , it doesn't bother me. They're too cute, however they end up. He just stood there and held me until I stopped shaking and could breathe again. In conclusion, yet another excellent book by R. It had many of my favorite things; fantastic writing, compelling plot, great characters, and beautiful wonderful friendships.
While I miss the more psychological aspect from Ultraviolet, I think I liked this one more. View 2 comments. Initially I found this quite interesting but it gradually becomes more and more predictable.
Also, that cover is awful! At least this means that when it does happen, I appreciate it all the more, particularly when said book is the sequel to a book I had found to be underwhelming. Anderson continues to demonstrate her skilful approach to writing, with a degree of confidence I felt was missing from the first book. This book is more tightly plotted, a pleasant surprise given that the plot is also quicker paced, and full of moments of genuine tension.
Their relationship is not one built on insta-love attraction or how pretty they find each-other. I also give major props to Anderson for creating a diverse YA that draws attention to important social issues.
Racism, sexism particularly in fields considered mainly male and sexuality are all touched upon in a way that never feels preachy. The inclusion of an asexual protagonist was just the cherry on top of the cake. I did not receive payment or compensation for this review.

Anderson is a great story teller, the writing itself didn't grip, as I would have liked. For example I like to find interesting quotes or dialogue which I connected with, but I just couldn't pull any from this story. The quote above is from the beginning of a chapter.
Even though on paper it' what I like YA, involves aliens, has decent writing and is sci-fi I somehow just didn't get it. Enjoyed this book very much. Nikki is very brave. For a teenage girl she deserves full credits for her guts and intelligence. Her parents are protective and supportive. They gave up everything to protect Nikki. I like Milo's character. He strived his best to help Nikki, even though she didn't treat him in a proper way.
He's my favorite character. I don't understand Sebestian at all, he's weird and extremely complicated. Wish Sebestian communicated more hence I could grasp his character well.
Also h Enjoyed this book very much. Also he was being selfish, he chose Alison over Nikki when he could have found another way to protect both of them. Hope to read more science fiction novels View all 4 comments. I'll write a proper review soon, but right now I just want to say that this book not only has an asexual character, but the word "asexual" is used. There is no beating around the bush, no "well if you squint hard maybe it's true.
Jan 17, Logan rated it it was amazing. Oh my gosh, a sequel? I can't wait! I was hoping there would be a sequel! What will it be about? Alison finding Faraday? Dammit, I want it now!
