Radiance by Alyson Noël

3.0

I was honestly a little hesitate to read this book because I'm not a huge fan of the Immortals series, but I was pleasantly surprised. Radiance is the story of Riley Bloom, Ever Bloom's little sister. Riley died in the accident that also killed her mother and father. Now she's in Here, where she can manifest anything that she could possibly ever want. But everyone has a job in Here. Riley's will turn out to be a little scarier than she was expecting.

This was a very quick read and I enjoyed it. Riley is very bratty, but she is 12! I guess that just comes with the territory. While she is bratty and childish, I didn't find it annoying. She's actually pretty funny. I wish we could have gotten to know the side character's a bit more. Especially Bohdi, but that's what sequels are for!

Overall, Radiance was an enjoyable start to a new series. Middle Graders will fall head over heels for the new world that Noel is opening up for them!
