The Curse of Ophelia by Nicole Platania

4.0

A excellent debut that features a badass FMC, witty side characters, and intriguing world building.

Nicole does a wonderful job of setting up Ophelia a strong but grieving FMC. She lets you sit in her grief, while at the same time really allowing Ophelia to come to grips with the loss of her childhood sweetheart. It was harrowing and empowering to read.

I really loved the side characters in this story. They were a unique group that checked my boxes for comedic relief and found family. I need more Tolek!!

The plot is suspenseful with solid pacing. I liked how Nicole weaved the worldbuilding throughout and kept expanding it as the group traveled.

Can’t wait to read more.
