The Shards of Ophelia by Nicole Platania

4.0

Wow what a SIGNIFICANT improvement from the first book! Book 1 was a 3.5⭐️ for me mainly because the pacing was so slow and it took me a while to get into it, but that was NOT at all the case with book two! The character development from our FMC and MMC were absolutely INCREDIBLE. The found family was perfection, I’m such a sucker for books where you fall in love with the side characters and the platonic relationships and this book made me do exactly that. The romance plot…. Like NOTHING I’ve ever read and I absolutely LOVED IT, I cannot wait to see where that goes…. The action and fighting scenes were so well done. Was it perfect? No. But I had a lot of fun reading this book and am definitely emotionally invested in these characters and can’t wait for book 3!
