The Radiant King follows a family of six ever-living siblings. With unknown centuries of experiences and wisdom, they have made a pact: No Thrones. No Crowns. No sharing their unique magic with humans. When one brother not held to the vow breaks all three rules, the siblings must act, gathering together a force of humans to stop their brother's plans.
This was an incredible story about family and the weight of living multiple lives. Each sibling felt special and unique and definably their own. They each are covered in shades of grey: neither fully right, or fully wrong. I fell in love with each of them.
The magic of the world is so interesting and is woven through with interesting religious themes- something I'm finding I love in Daglish's stories.
This book is bloody, brutal, and breathtaking. I can't wait to see what happens next.
Thank you to NetGalley and Orbit for an ARC copy!
