Radiance by Grace Draven
5.0
adventurous dark funny hopeful lighthearted mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This was such a nice change of pace for me. From page one I was intrigued by the dynamic between Brishen & Ildiko. While Radiance did have somewhat dark themes, this paranormal romance has: arranged marriage, slow burn friends to lovers, laugh out loud banter, light world building, & a cozy storyline. As a die hard enemies to lovers girly, this one has me thinking I might be a friends to lovers fan deep down too. 

I really really enjoyed this one, and I can’t wait to continue with the series. If you’re looking for a romantasy without such high stakes and warfare, this would be a good choice. A unique & hidden gem.
