Radiant: Review

So much feels in Radiant!

Summary:

From New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Hand comes a riveting original novella (available only as an ebook) set in the world of the Unearthly series.

Clara is desperate to get away—from the memories that haunt her in Wyoming and the visions of a future she isn't ready to face—and spending the summer in Italy with her best friend, Angela, should be the perfect escape. . . .

For as long as she can remember, Angela has been told that love is dangerous, that she must always guard her heart. But when she met a mysterious guy in Italy two years ago she was determined to be with him, no matter the costs. Now she must decide whether she can trust Clara with her secret, or if telling her the truth will risk everything she cares about.

Alternating between Angela and Clara's perspectives, Radiant chronicles the unforgettable summer that will test the bounds of their friendship and change their lives forever.

Part of this post will about the review, and another part of this post is about part of my PoV's about Boundless.

I will keep the review short, because this is a short novella.

So it's about the trip in Italy, and told in Angela's and Clara's point of view. I love this kind of management. It's kinda fun to see the world in Angela's perspective, you know? I can finally get why she is so "intense".

And there is this Phen guy/angel. And you know what? The last sentence of Radiant scares me. Why Clara will regret this after when she doesn't tell Angela what she saw in Phen? I smell something bad will happen in Boundless.

Radiant is just as good as Unearthly and Hallowed, even though it's just a novella. This book makes me more eager to read Boundless. And the writing style of Cynthia Hand stays fresh. I love it.

Rating: 8.5/10

And then there's an excerpt of Boundless in Radiant. And man, did that ever broke me like that. I want Tucker with Clara, okay? They are so right together. I swear to you woman, if you don't make them together, I will rip you into pieces. Not that I don't like Christian. It's just that he's not right for her. Tucker is. So yeah, that's all I have to say up to now.

Boundless will be released on January 22nd, 2013
