WOW. I have not felt nearly this way since queen of shadows. So much is happening in this book and it is SO GOOD. We have a TOLEK POV. Ugh I love him so much. All the main characters I love and I am so glad 3.5 is about cyph and vale
This was an absolute amazing read! Nicole’s ability to world build while keeping the plot interesting and character development going completely amazes me. A huge inspiration as an author, and I’ve loved watching Ophelia and her crew grow throughout the series.
I’ve been recommending this series since the first book and I will continue to do so. It is a must read if you haven’t yet! If fantasy and found family with unexpected twists is your thing, you definitely need to read this series!

i am very excited to see where this story continues to. also the creature reveals were just magical.
A great conclusion (I know there’s more books) to the battle and Kakias. I can’t wait for the rest of the story to unfold - especially regarding the angels plans because I’m very confused what they want and who this ‘master’ is. Malakai oh malakai, I’m so glad he found himself in this book, he provided such raw emotions to add to the story and I loved reading his chapters. Tolek once again is just the best book boyfriend and perfect in so many ways. At times I was getting frustrated with the writing, I’m not sure if it’s the style but it feels repetitive in the way the characters talk to each other and often times cringy (especially when it’s their inner dialogue talking about the person they love) so this is the only reason it’s not 5 ⭐️

this book would have been so much better without the malakai pov chapters in my opinion, it was really hard to get through. love tolek <3
I devoured this book! It has been over 24 hours now since I finished and I wish I had the next book in my hands already because I need to know what happens!
Trials didn’t completely rip my heart out & smash it to tiny pieces like Curse & Shards did but man did I still feel all the feels. I feel like Nicole does an AMAZING job at truly digging down into characters feelings & flaws. The vulnerability & emotional growth in this book is so beautifully done. Each character has some kind of emotional trauma that they confront in this book & Nicole presents it in such a raw, authentic way.
Plus, that Sapphire scene?? *chef’s kiss*
My new goal in life is to be a badass Mystique warrior & ride a Pegasus.

Where do I start.
What an emotional Rollercoaster.
Ok, so there are no enemies to lovers but perfectly natural friends to lovers showing Ophelia exactly how it feels to be truly loved.
I love the way the friends are portrayed, pushing when they know they can and holding back when necessary.
It is hard to describe exactly how good these books are. The emotional damage and healing process depicted for multiple characters is so well written that you can feel the pain as they heal. No one character is immune to the broken feeling and you cannot help but go alone for the ride.
I honestly cannot wait to see what happens next!
