Right from the opening...right from the prologue I was captured.
The first person point-of-view is spell-binding as the story is told in a quick and smooth pace.
Radiant Darkness is of finding where your gifts lie, finding strength within yourself and finding love. This retelling of Persephone and Hades was a very enjoyable read.
The "voice" of Persephone took us from a girl who was searching for meaning and purpose to a person who knows herself-her purpose.
The "voice" of Persephone let me, the reader, know how she was swept off of her feet-how deeply Hades effected her.
The author kept to the major details surrounding Persephone, Demeter and Hades, however, she added some twists and turns of her own. I must admit, I prefer the author's upbeat and positive bent on the story. Happily, I have found that I now appreciate the Greek Myth far greater than I did before the reading of Radiant Darkness.
Radiant Darkness simply is a magical, wonderful and enjoyable story.
