The Trials of Ophelia by Nicole Platania
5.0
adventurous dark emotional funny mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

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

2025 reread: just as good as I remembered. We now have 3 different POVs (Ophelia, Malakai and Tolek). After the battle at Damenal, the gang is rebuilding, dealing with grief and waiting for a member to wake up from his coma. Then we go the new quest: find the 7 angel relics that have angel magic in them to fulfill Damien’s request to Ophelia. On top of that we have Queen Kakias and her armies being sus then they surprise attack and the end is another battle. 

- trials
- working through grief and ptsd
- more questions about the quest Damien is having her go on
- twists and betrayal 
-spice 🌶️🌶️

I love the inspiration on scenes from TOG
