Radiance

This book was refreshing. Someone needs to confiscate Draven's thesaurus every once in a while, but it read smoothly enough. Learning new words while reading is one of my favorite things, but doing so on every other page was exhausting. And it's not about not being smart, these words have fallen out of the vernacular of all English-speaking cultures (let alone in Louisiana). That being said, I love love love Brishen and IIldiko. I love their teasing and gentle way with each other. The slow build to burn was great. I was wondering why nothing had really happened yet while on page 200, but then I remembered it's a series. I feel like the missing POV from Brishen after he was captured left it feeling rushed and unfinished. I also really wish he could have kept his eye... I will be reading Eidolon as soon as possible.
