The review I've struggled to write because it's felt impossible to find the words to accurately describe how incredible this book is.
This book and it's beautiful band of misfit chaos friends has stolen my whole heart. A magnificent debut from Nicole!
Nicole has built an interesting world with easily digestible world building. For my typically non-fantasy friends out there that might be interested in the genre I promise this one would be a great place to start!
The plot in the first half of this book is very character driven and sets up for an utterly perfect action packed second half. The epilogue will have vou begging Nicole for the next book. Lucky for you there's only a few short months until book two, The Shards of Ophelia, releases August 22nd. With a title like that we'll all probably need the next several months to emotional prepare ourselves for wringer we're about to be put through.
Ophelia and every single one of her friends has stolen a piece of my heart. They're each perfect in their own way, all are incredibly relatable and perfectly flawed. I don't think I could love a set of characters more. Each one is a carefully crafted masterpiece.
I promise this book won't disappoint and l'm so excited to read everything that comes from Nicole in the future!

“i was not made for skirts, father, i was made for swords.”
i promised myself that i would dnf books more often and i finally decided to dnf this one because it’s boring, i don’t care about the characters, the storyline or anything else it sounded interesting so i started it but i can’t finish it and i’m tired of forcing myself to finish something i don’t enjoy.

It was okay, I was never overly excited about it though. It was fun and I think certain aspects of it are great, I just am not attached to any of the characters.
I really enjoyed this book and thought it was a fantastic start to the series. The protagonist is a breath of fresh air and she reminds me a bit of Jude from The Cruel Prince, which I absolutely loved. She's strong, smart, capable and stubborn. Her strength isn’t just convenient plot armour, she’s been training since childhood, which makes her a much more compelling character. The friends she adventures with are delightful, and I really enjoyed their dynamic. The world-building is well-developed and non complicated, which makes the fast-paced plot easier to follow.

It's really hard to write a review for this book. It's was action packed and the world is interesting. I know that it's only the first book but there's so much unexplained. There's just a lot going on, but also so much that could have been cut.
I will not be reading more of this series.
