A review by tkeyahreads
The Shards of Ophelia by Nicole Platania

5.0

This book definitely took a few turns I needed it to take. It was such a good read and again, Nicole is gifted. Her writing is insanely beautiful and poetic. I enjoyed more buildup in this second book of her series. The pace was still slow, but as a Fantasy lover I do love the slower paced books with a lot of detail which is what Nicole delivered. 

We dove into the characters a bit more and there was more world building in this one which I also enjoyed. 

I easily began to love each character more while learning more about them. I was also able to easily envision the world they live in, where the main characters are from as well as the characters from other territories. 

One thing I love most about these books is the unique magic aspects. The amount of creativity it had to have taken to come up with it is impressive.

 With the pace these books have been going into book 2 was exactly what it should’ve been and was perfect following The Curse of Ophelia. Not only that but the ending leads very well into the next book which I cannot wait to read. 

I love this series so far and cannot wait to dive into book 3.
