A review by cornyylynn
The Shards of Ophelia by Nicole Platania

5.0

SOOOO GOOD! The first book was a bit slow and I believe could have had more potential but was good book for a debut novel and helped set the scene. this 2nd book was *chefs kiss* it was giving acomaf/acowar vibes. (re: tiny inn one bed, love, war, father rip)

take a shot every time a character holds a huge secret that will put everyone in danger. I truly do feel bad for Malakai as he was put in an unfortunate situation and then Ophelia turned around and did the same thing. He went through so much and sacrificed a lot for her safety and I feel like he didn’t deserve all the hate he received, as Ophelia was very hypocritical (which luckily she acknowledges in the end). But, I could already see the development and growth for them and learning their mistakes, so I hope in book 3 they will continue to grow. I’m glad they ended things and realized they were only bringing out the worst parts of each other. He deserves love too, I’m looking at you Mila??

TOL TOL TOL. the bff to lovers pipeline is GIVINGGGG. That man was day 1 since the beginning and I’m so glad it happened. BUT HE NEEDS TO WAKE UP.
