Hello people! Last night I finished reading a book that I really liked It is self-published and for now I think it is only in English
If you don't mind reading in English, here we go with this fantasy romance novel: RADIANCE by Grace Draven Today I do not have an intro like that, much to say, so I'm going to show you the shelf of the cool things that my boyfriend and I have, with our wow figurines, Stardew Valley, a few funkos, wow figurines, Nightmare Before Christmas (because here we have all had a gothic era) y figuras de My Hero Academia con el “MIDORIYA SHONEN” Cositas de Disney, some QPosket, and my jewel in the crown, the PollyPocket I started collecting them when I was little and there I have them (That's some intro shit, Freedom, we want you to put things up your nose ) Oh well, poh yahtá
Pues la historia es que yo estaba en Amazon tan tranquila comprando mis tonterías cuando de repente Amazon me pone delante un libro en plan “Te recomendamos este libro: RADIANCE de Grace Draven” Y yo “Deja, Amazon, What do you know what I like or what I don't, si tú eres un algoritmo ahí turbio” Bueno, the next time he entered, otra vez “Toma compra compra” Bueno mira, after they already recommended it to me like five or six times, I was already curious, me leí la sinopsis y dije “Oh pues en verdad parece que igual sí me gusta”
What happened when I started reading RADIANCE? What I'm going to tell you next will surprise you. Well, I really liked it. This is the story: In this medieval world and such there are two races at the moment: there are the humans of all life god, and the kai The kai are very tall people with very long fangs and nails, with gray skin like that dolphin or dead turtle, and eyes without pupils that shine like lanterns in the dark They are nocturnal, and according to the book they are very scary
Well there are the human kingdom of Gaur and the kingdom of the kai, and we have two people who are the protagonists of the story: in humans we have Ildiko Ildiko is a noble redhead and pretty, a very sensible and very mature girl She is a niece I think that of the king, doesn't matter much on a large scale in this whole plot of court political intrigues, so nobody cares much Then in the kai kingdom is Brishen He's the prince, but he is the third son of the king, and the throne is more than assured by his older brother and the multitude of children that he has So Brishen doesn't have much value in terms of succession to the throne or the Kai hassles., respectful, sensible, also very mature
Everyone is very sensible and very mature in this novel, the truth So the kings say: “Vamos a hacer una alianza entre los kai y los gauri, so to get along, you know? This has never been done because kai and humans have mutually yelled at each other., but we are going to make an alliance, let's get along, así que vamos a casar a una humana y a un kai” Y dicen “¡Contra! Well Ildiko, the noble that we have here doing lump, and this prince who leads nowhere, los vamos a casar y vamos a hacer un matrimonio de conveniencia”
¡ Ta-daaa! Ildiko has never seen her fiancé, the same prince, but they both know that this is what there is They see for the first time on the wedding day and, as expected, they are absolutely repulsive to each other, which is a bit of a laugh because, in the background, as readers, we all know that Brishen is like a train and Ildiko is also like a train, solo que todavía ni el uno ni la otra se han dado cuenta de que les ha tocado la lotería maritalmente hablando Dice Ildiko “Será más feo que pegarle a un padre con un calcetín sudado, but it looks nice, you see good people go, Okay, I do not care if you marry me, It could have been worse
” Y luego, as time goes, they become friends, the respect they have for each other is increasing and, in the end, very slowly, they will end up falling in love and it's very nice, It is very beautiful Although the fact that a kai and a gauri get married is going to arouse some resentment in the neighboring nations, It is going to awaken some political intrigues and there are going to be people who will try to screw them. I tell you in advance that there are no great risks and great dramas here at RADIANCE. It is a quiet book, slow, many scenes of Brishen and Ildiko just being together and talking, messing with each other, hanging out together
But there is never great risk or great drama, a super big conflict I mean, yes, we have battles with bandits, ambushes, kidnappings and such, but the conflict never becomes very big because the protagonists have too many qualities It's not that it's bad, Let's see
Is that when the characters don't fight their destiny, thus they have no defects, when they are so respectful, so loving, so sensible, so so mature, so to know what they want from life because there is no place for a very big conflict and neither are the characters going to develop much, because they already start the story practically perfect Look, nothing happens, not all novels have to be what we are used to and anyway, Nevertheless (or maybe precisely because of that), RADIANCE is a very nice book, very entertaining to read It is one of these books that you read to put yourself in a good mood I recommend this book to readers who like romance, that they like fantasy, Fairy Tales, and tropes like, for example, arranged marriages, el “slow burn” (which in English means when in a story the characters take their time to fall in love and everything happens in a very natural way, no hurries), those who like night races with fangs and bright eyes
As for example me, You give me fangs and bright eyes and I'm out of luck with the kai I was freaking out in colors., they comb their hair in braids and have gardens that sparkle in the moonlight, so I then chachi If you like characters that do not create unnecessary dramas, that adapt to your life and seek to make the best of all situations, then RADIANCE by Grace Draven is her book that you will probably like a lot But, as they say in the teletienda: “Espera, que hay más” RADIANCE es sólo la primera parte de una saga llamada WRAITH KINGS Radiance es la primera, and the next installment is called EIDOLON
I don't know what milk means EIDOLON, But I'm sure when I read the book I'll find out Trying not to reveal anything, in the second part suddenly there is an army of zombies and demons of the shadows and Brishen and Ildiko are going to have to deal with that I was freaking out a bit because in the end I RADIANCE, suddenly, es como ¡Uuuuh apocalipsis zombie! and you say what happened? Okay, I guess the second part, EIDOLON, It will deal with that.And usually this change in the level of drama and even gender makes me a little backward, but i really like zombies and demons and possessions, especially in fantasy and fairy tale settings; i like necromancers, I still like nocturnal races with fangs and glowing eyes and if you mix them with demonic monsters from the shadow realm, well then it's a combo that drives me crazy, and it just so happens that Grace Draven has found the combo that, so I would most likely buy EIDOLON so I can get on with Brishen's story, prince kai, e Ildiko, the noble gauri In case someone is interested, long ago i started a lantern of Brishen and Ildiko when i finished, I will show you the fanart and upload the speedpaint to your delight and rejoicing. Maybe you see me a little hyperactive in this video., so super happy and super smiling
You are seeing me to the teeth No, I have not drugged the colacao; no, I have not won the lottery It is simply that this book makes me happy It has its dots that maybe they could be better, but in general it is a book that I liked very much and I was raging to be able to show it to you And that was today's video and today's book: RADIANCE de Grace Draven
Give it a try if you like it And one more thing before you go: Do you see this i have here, esta postal donde pone “La Constelación de los Dragones” de Maribel Abad?
