Quicksilver: Chapters 29-End

November 28, 2025

Episode Title: Quicksilver – Chapters 29–End (The "Good Soup" Finale)


Description: The Romantasy Roundtable reaches the feral conclusion of Quicksilver by Callie Hart! Amanda, Kim, and Rick break down chapters 29 through the end, where the good soup is plentiful, the Shadow Daddy angst is at an all-time high, and Carrion Swift officially steals the show (and a potted plant).


The crew debates whether Kingfisher beats the Tamlin allegations during the war camp separation, screams about the iconic "seven gods" line, and processes Saeris’s chaotic transformation into a hybrid vampire queen. We also unpack the ballad of Ajun gate, the truth about the coin toss, and why Rick is officially the president of the Carrion Swift Fan Club. Expect unhinged theories, Sage the ChatGPT’s dramatic predictions, and a lot of feelings about a sword named Simon.


Key Topics Discussed:


The Seven Gods of Soup: We dissect that line in Chapter 37. It’s the spiciest scene yet, complete with mating bond realizations, shadow-gate booty calls, and Fisher finally admitting his feelings (sort of).


Carrion's Era: Rick’s favorite character gets an emotional support plant, a quicksilver sword named Simon that loves dirty jokes, and proves he’s the ultimate ride-or-die by poisoning Malcolm.


The Coin Toss & The Triad: We finally learn Fisher's secret shame regarding Gillith, reveal the connection between Malcolm, Belikon, and Madra, and watch Saeris pull a fast one with a demon’s throat coin.


Hybrid Queen: The cliffhanger to end them all! Saeris dies (again), meets Zaerith the God of Chaos, and wakes up as a new hybrid species and the rightful Vampire Queen of the wrong side of the river.


Join us as we try to recover from that cliffhanger. Next up: We’re diving straight into Brimstone (Chapters 1–12)—bring your umbrellas because the forecast calls for more angst and probably more soup.
