dirtymartini 's review for:
Radiance
by Grace Draven
I revisited this one in audio before reading the sequel. I forgot about that creepy ending! Don't get me wrong. It's an HEA as far as their love goes, but his mother... sheesh! The final chapter is a scary prelude to the sequel.
The audio reader; Gabrielle Baker was pretty good.
...........original review
Brishen of the Kai and Ildiko of the Guar. In a world where humans and the Kai live side by side and exist in a kind of medieval time with magic and strange creatures. Two separate species, one human and one not. Neither species finds the other attractive. In fact, they find them pretty darn repulsive. And yet, Brishen and Ildiko are to be wed in a politically arranged match for the purposes of trade. Fortunately, MCs have a sense of humour and open minds. From their first meeting, they are honest with each other and OK with their marriage. They both knew that due to their status' in either kingdom, they would likely be required to make a politically motivated marriage. They are just happy that even though their spouse isn't attractive, they are interesting, understanding and respectful. It could have been worse eh? This is a story about political intrigue, evil and love found in the most unlikely of places. Super romantic!!
The ending is more of an HFN than an HEA, but not really a cliffhanger. But still, I HAVE TO READ the next one! If only to just get more of Brishen and Ildiko.
