In Radiant shadows Ani is being tested to find out what her blood can do exactly. She's a half-faerie, but not a regular one. She has to live with constant hunger, because she needs so many different kinds of nourishment. Devlin, Sorcha's assassin, had to kill Ani when she was just a little girl. He didn't obey his maker's order's though. Because of Rae, a dream walker who knew Devlin had to fulfill three wishes when she asked him to, Ani's still alive. The faerie courts are having problems with one another and suddenly Ani finds herself in the middle of it. The question is if she will be able to solve her problems. Will Devlin be able to stay by her side?Radiant Shadows is a wonderfully twisted love story. Ani is sweet, strong and resourceful. She always fights her way out of things. Something is missing in her life and she doesn't feel like she belongs. I liked the combination of vulnerability and fierceness in her character. Devlin keeps his emotions to himself, but when he meets Ani something changes within him. To see him grow and develop was really great. This book is a real page turner, I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. Because of the back stabbing, intrigues, sibling fights and unusual romance this was a very interesting read.
Can a shadow be radiant? Radiant means shining or glowing brightly, and a shadow is the exact opposite of that. According to Melissa Marr, it is very possible for a shadow to be radiant, as the main character Ani, while belonging to the Dark Court, manages to shine light onto the confusion in her life and start sorting it all out. Overall, that's the book, Ani figuring out all the secrets that have been kept from her over the years about her past, her family and the secret behind her strange blood. This book is the fourth in an amazing series,and this installment only makes it better. Melissa Marr's storytelling couldn't do much to get better. She tells the story in a way that is easy to understand, which with all the politics behind the scenes, is not easy. The dialogue and description are mixed together nicely, and the book never left me wondering how things looked or sounded. The pacing to the book seemed to get a little rushed at the end, but it was made to work by putting the main characters on a realistic time limit before everything went sour.This book is perfect for anyone who wants to believe that there is another world close to our own, with creatures that we can't truly imagine.
I thought it was really good the way Melissa Marr wrote it. I can't wait to read her next book.
