Radiance
by Grace Draven
Radiance has been on my radar for a while now- always popping up on booktok & my reading recommendations based on other books I've read (SLM, The Traitor Queen, etc etc) and I've always put it off because, well, I love romance and this book starts off with the main characters physically horrified at each other (lol). I wasn't sure how I would like a book that had little physical attraction. Hey, I'm not ashamed, I like smut in my adult romances! Anyway, Draven gives the readers a beautiful love story- a true not-quite-enemies to friends to soul mates tale. And don't worry- the horrified reactions don't actually last long! The characters' personalities take over and you just fall in love the same way the characters do. I adored how Brishen reacted to other people finding Ildiko attractive. What can I say, I love a good protective man. It's like the flood gates opened for both of them.
I will say, despite loving this story, I thought the ending with the Queen was a bit anti-climatic. I was really hoping for some big battle between them. I guess I'll see how it goes in book 2!
