Radiance Wraith Kings Book 1 edition by Grace Draven Isis Sousa Lora Gasway Mel Sanders Paranormal Romance eBooks

Instead of the typical beauty and the beast re-telling, this might be called: beast and the beast or maybe beauty and the beauty. It is not often that I believe characters can sustain their happily ever after but this is an exception to the rule.

This book is for readers like me who are usually annoyed and oftentimes bored with the standard paranormal romance storyline clichés. I thought I knew how this story would go: beautiful human forced to marry hideous beast, he treats her poorly because he was also forced into marriage. She doesn't want to find him attractive but somehow they have amazing sexual chemistry. In the last chapter they realize they love each other. The end.

Nope. If that is what you want, don't buy this book. If you are looking for a humorous and heartwarming tale of two individuals who learn to first like, then respect, then love, then desire each other, then this is what you are looking for. Draven puts equal efforts into world building and character building with the result that I found myself invested in both. I enjoyed this tale tremendously and know that it will be read again and again by me.

Radiance is the tale of two "spare" nobles that are forced to marry each other to seal an alliance between their kingdoms. Their physical appearances are very dissimilar and even disgust each other because of the pronounced differences. Their respective peoples pity them for having made such unfortunate matches. Oddly enough the characters themselves never indulge in bigotry or pity, either for themselves or their spouse, they accept each other and adapt. The new couple must deal with issues of cultural disparity, political machinations and the prospect of war with a kingdom unhappy with their alliance. Through it all these characters shine.

A million, I want a Brishen for me, Stars!!!
I was in a funk lately and wanted to find a book that was different than what i have been reading, so i saw Radiance in my "recommended for you" and i thought to give it a try. Wow, just W.O.W.

Brishen, bada55, sensitive, hideous according to Ildiko, strong, a prince, a fighter.

Ildiko, funny, sweet, strong, hideous according to Brishen, a fighter in her own way.

The world, even though it was a different world, i didn't miss any detail about it, the author managed to introduce me into a world of magic, different species and it wasn't overwhelming and i didn't need to go back to understand some remarks, it flowed flawlessly. Loved every character, the main ones, the second ones, the third ones and all in between. A TRUE beauty and beast novel, though, we don't know who was the beauty and who was the beast.

Their relationship was so sweet, so endearing, it wasn't insta-love, or insta-lust, they saw what they really were, because they didn't care about looks, so they focused on their souls and it was beautiful to watch and read and imagine such a relationship for me. TRUE love...

"Her hands jerked in his grasp before she arched an eyebrow.   “Wolf,” she said softly. “Horse,” he replied just as quietly."

“You make a very handsome dead eel, my husband,” she said and winked.   Sinhue and Kirgipa both gasped. “For a boiled mollusk, you wear black quite well, my wife,” Brishen shot back, and his smile stretched a little wider."

“Woman of day,” he said slowly.   “You mean everything to me.”

Brishen's description of Ildiko
"Her eyes bothered him most.   Unlike the Kai, hers were layers of opaque white, blue ringed in gray and black pinpoint centers that expanded or contracted with the light.   The first time he’d witnessed that reaction in a human, all the hairs on his nape stood straight up.   That, and the way the contrasting colors made it easy to see the eyes move in their sockets gave the impression they weren’t body parts but entities unto themselves living as parasites inside their hosts’ skulls."

"She lifted her gaze once more.   He twitched.   Lover of thorns, but those eyes disconcerted him."
“You find me ugly, don’t you?” “Hideous,” he said.   “A hag of a woman.”

Ildiko's description of Brishen
“And you,” he said.   “You don’t think me a handsome man?”

“Had you crawled out from under my bed when I was a child, I would have bludgeoned you to death with my father’s mace.”
I just finished Radiance last night after devouring the thing for three evenings, and I loved this book. It is well written, decently edited, and difficult to put down. I read solely fiction, mostly fantasy and romance, and this story has both—but done in such a way as it spits in the eye of worn-out tropes and grabs the reader’s attention right away.

I will not ruin the story by summarizing it here to explain why I adore it so much. You want to know why, read the blurb. Or read the sample. But if you take it that far, beware you'll end up buying the book.

The premise of this story is great. The dialogue and interactions are meaningful and interesting. The male and female leads, endearing and witty. The best part about their coming together was that one was not tasked with winning over the other. The main characters were equal in that measure, putting a unique twist on the typical romantic cliche’s.

Although I am a fan of the “no, no, no struggle” that takes 3/4 of the story before the “yes, yes, yes of acquiescence” (I mean who could read romance without being able to stomach that), this different take was so refreshing and fulfilling. It really took me by surprise.

The only bad thing I can say about this book is that the names (or at least their spellings) were too hard to pronounce properly in my head, so I found myself saying them wrong just so I wasn't pulled out of the wonderful story every time I saw someone’s name.

That being said, I was hooked after the sample and didn't think twice about buying the book. And the next in the series.

Darn you author for penning such a compelling tale and taking my money! *raises fist to the sky in mock agitation*

Truly fantastic read.
