YOU GUYS. I have been an Ophelia stan since day one but this book takes my obsession to another level. The insane development of each and every character in this book is unmatched. You can really tell Nicole meticulously writes her characters to be unique and special and she truly writes from her heart.
The development of a certain romance (I won't give anything away!!!) has been one of my favorite things to read. The push and pull that the characters go through and the way that SHE would burn the world for HIM sends butterflies straight to my stomach. I am so proud of both of them.
Seriously you guys have to go read these books. They just continue to get better and leave you wanting more. I cannot wait for the novella to come out and I already know its going to be amazing! Thank you Nicole for an ARC of this book. My opinions are my own.

Perhaps my favorite volume of the TCOO series thus far, Trials is an incredible elevation to this imaginative tale & is overflowing with breathtaking moments that are sure to shock, transport, stress, and heat you to your very core.
Tear me apart, keep me puzzled, toss in some spice tied into a bow by elegant and captivating writing and I'm all yours.
Nicole manages this and then some, epic story driven by characters that I can't get enough of. You will cry, scream, laugh and feel the heat. I need more!!

Every book in this series just keeps getting better and better. It’s so underrated it should be a crime. I’m obsessed with this world Nicole has created and the characters within it. The found family is everything. Our FMC Ophelia came to PLAY in this one, god I love her, talk about superior character growth and development. We finally got Tolek’s POV and I am so in love with this man it’s not even funny. His love for Ophelia is everything and I’m obsessed with their relationship, thank you Nicole for giving us HEALTHY COMMUNICATION!!! Malakai really surprised me, I did not expect to love his character as much as I do, I was cheering for him the entire time! I had so much fun reading this book and it absolutely did not feel like a filler book despite being the third book in the series which I am very grateful for. The battle scenes had my stomach in knots and heart racing and I loved every second. I did find it a bit slow to get into and the pacing a little slow in the middle, which is why I gave it 4 stars. All in all I cannot wait to continue this series!!
Absolutely honored that Nicole let me beta read The Trials of Ophelia!!!
If you love Throne of Glass, this is giving me a Greek mythology inspired vibe. Please read it.
I want to keep this spoiler free so all I say is Nicole has done a beautiful job developing her characters and letting them grow in a realistic way that’s healthy and normal for someone who has gone through the trauma a lot of the characters have gone through. Instead of just rushing through it or letting a relationship cure everything, the characters spend time working through their issues.
Everyone who was annoyed with Ophelia in book 1 should really stick with it because she comes so so so far.
And I’m still screaming over the ending, I can’t wait to see where the next book takes the crew!

There is so much character development between all the characters, that I can’t wait to read the next one. Thank you for letting me be able to advance read this!!! I can’t wait for the Novella and Book 4!!
