"There she is."
Ophelia and Tolek—ugh! They're so addicting! Love them together.
Mila and Malakai—I love them together too! Trauma bonding? Yup. I love how they helped each other.
I totally understood why Ophelia and Malakai weren't in it together anymore. I'm so happy for them realizing that. I'm glad they're still friends after all that happened.
Shoutout to the author, Nicole, for giving us all that healthy communication.
I’m still confused after 2.3 books. I LOVE Tolek, but I don’t really care about Ophelia or what happens next…
I am sure this series has altered my brain chemistry. I AM IN LOVE.
5/5 ⭐
You know the feeling of excitement and thrill you get when you are reading a book that you absolutely adore and your heart is beating rapidly against your chest?! Yes, well this book gave me that feeling.
Again, I'll say it: If you haven't read the first book of this series RUN, DO NO WALK, RUN!!
This book was absolutely amazing, I couldn't put it down, and I already feel so close to the characters, I don't want this series to end

This book was incredible! This is by far my favorite book of the series so far. Tons of payoff in this book in so many different aspects! Intense romance and even more intense battles. The character growth in this book surpasses what I expected. I cannot wait for the following novella and then the next book in the series.
5 stars
Here's the thing, with a lot of fantasy series, I feel like there is almost always a book that is mediocre, the filler book. That is NOT the case with this series. Every book thus far has been action, information, and banter packed. I love these characters so much and I am happy to say that it exceeded my expectations!
This found family just keeps getting better and better. Thank you, Nicole, for blessing me with an ARC of Trials. My head is spinning from the theories. Ophelia and her crew just keep getting better and better. I'm loving where this story is headed!

I truly enjoy discovering new series and The Curse of Ophelia is answering all the ticks on my romantasy checklist.
The Trials of Ophelia is the third book in the series and I’m done!! The amazing world building throughout the series, the wonderful characters and the plot!! Platania starts every book with a pronunciation guide, and by the time we get to book three, some names are in the past. For those that are still hanging on, they have an amazing adventure ahead of them! Mainly character driven, this book continues in a high level of action and discovery – you will not be able to put it down!! Of course book 4 is now much needed! I’m hooked!!

Hey there, tea lovers and book journeyers,
So, grab your favorite mug and let's steep ourselves in the tale of 'The Trials of Ophelia,' the grand finale of 'The Curse of Ophelia' series. Picture this: I'm tucked in the most comfiest armchair of our imaginary tea shop and bookstore combo, with a steaming pot of Oolong—a tea known for its complex layers and lingering finish—by my side, mirroring the depth of Nicole Platania's storytelling.
Spoilers? None here, my friend..at least not yet and with tons of warnings. Imagine if I told you the ending of "The Empire Strikes Back" before you got to experience the shock of Vader's true reveal. Like seriously?! We wouldn't want that! Instead, Iet me be like Gandalf guiding you, sans spoilers, into Middle Earth, or better yet, into Ophelia’s world, without unveiling what's behind the curtain too soon.
I was bestowed the honor of an ARC copy—it's like finding a real golden ticket in my Wonka bar—I leaped into Platania's realm with the eagerness and excitement of a Hobbit and their second breakfast. This isn't just any review. No, it's akin to sharing the lore of a cosmic issue found in the back of a forgotten drawer, infused with notes of nerdom and echoes of fangirl enthusiasm.
However, before I was able to venture into "The Trials of Ophelia", after I visited its predecessors...as this was a new journey, I needed all of the necessary information to make my book quest a successes. Think of it like you need to rewatch "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers," ensuring not a detail was missed before the final act. This reading journey? It was a marathon within a sprint; arms racing, heart pacing, as if I was hunting down those that took Merry and Pip!
Plunging into the heart of this tale, it's an orchestra and songs mixed with emotion and adventure, striking harmonies sweet and sad, enveloped in the musings and bursts of hope, and love. It's as though Athena herself penned a quest...well in this case...it's the the angel wannabes (it's what I say...and insert eye-roll), with all the camaraderie of the fellowship, even as they part ways, ensuring every page turned was as exhilarating as navigating through the Labyrinth with Sarah, minus the Bog of Eternal Stench.
For those of you teetering on the edge of anticipation since book two's cliffhangers and questions... 'The Trials of Ophelia' beams like the the one we saw (well read) in the "shards"—it's a beacon that delivers a promise..... I'll circle back with a magnifying glass and a detective's cap for a semi spoiler-free, in-depth review once our beloved book community has had a chance to devour every word.
I'm over the moon...for the chance to preview 'The Trials of Ophelia.' Sharing these initial musings with you all, is like the clinking teacups in a toast to the adventures that await.
Here's to the tales that make our hearts race, to the peace found in pages, and to the teas that accompany us on these journeys.
May your teacup always be full, your tea in your teapot the right temperature, your TBR list endless, and with multiple book journeys
