6/22/2023 0 Comments Radiance ildiko and brishenI invested in their emotional journey, in their attempt to make a home amidst threats of unrest from an opposing nation, and in how they learned to live with their differences. And that honest delight with these characters never wavered. I actually may have made a noise like a barking seal. As the Kai are gray-skinned, yellow-eyed and clawed, Ildiko has her own thoughts: Fortunately, they approach this arrangement with practicality and good humor - which carries through the entire tale.ĭuring their first meeting, Brishen calls his human bride-to-be “a hag of a woman,” because he is appalled by her mollusk-pale skin and odd eyes. A gentle love story laced with political intrigue, Radiance finds Brishen of the Kai and Ildiko of the Gauri wed to cement an alliance between their countries. Fortunately, that was far from the case with Radiance, Grace Draven’s first Wraith Kings novel, which came out in January. I’ve bought a few books based on trusted squee and ended up burned. Whenever a book is hyped all over the romance blogosphere and Twitterverse, I get a little nervous.
