Regardless of how underwhelmed I felt about this side story, the series itself is absolutely worth the read if you enjoy stories of love, destiny, and the journey of one girl to find out who she really is. It's such a short story that it will only take but a few minutes to read, so you won't be wasting your time even if you don't find out much in the way of new information. Other than getting to find out about an angel living in Italy who drives Angela's passion, we didn't really learn anything else new about information having to do with Clara's story.Īll I can think is that this angel will probably show up in future books to help drive the story along, so I guess if you feel the need to know about this character before he's brought back later (even though I'm sure he'll be explained if/when he makes a reappearance), go ahead and read this. I'm not even sure how necessary it was to the series. This particular story was just okay - interesting enough, but nothing to find myself excited over. Radiant is a short story which takes place between books 2 and 3 and the majority of it revolves around Angela. I gave high marks for the first two books and am anxiously awaiting the third. Thankfully, the Unearthly series is pretty decent for an angel set of books which has more romance than horror. I have a harder time with the manufactured sappy-romance type of angel stories. where the vibe is dark and the angels are suspect. Truth be told, I tend to prefer the Angelfall style of angel lore. The situation is explained enough in book 3 to where you can get by if you skip this story, but I liked knowing what happened in Radiant first.Īngel books are probably even worse than vampire books for having to slog through a whole lot of mediocre in order to find the gems. However, there is a huge tie-in of one particular instance which happens in Radiant with something that will take place in Boundless. Update Note : I'm in the middle of book 3 at the moment and can finally confirm that it is not completely necessary to have read this short story before reading book 3. Well, I did read HP and Twilight but I thought that was just a one/two time thing. I never knew there is a thing called Young Adult fiction. Before it, reading was just an obligation. VA is basically the reason I got into books. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw Wendy bringing Clara’s stuff back from Tucker and inside the box there was a copy of Vampire Academy. This novella also features a prologue and the first chapter of Boundless which will probably blow my mind away. I am looking forward seeing how will they work things out in Stanford, or will it set them farther apart. Since Clara doesn’t think hooking up with an angel is a good thing this sets a strain in their friendship so they spend the rest of the summer practically not talking to each other. He has that Dimitri Belikov quality about him I find incredibly appealing and you can feel that he is helping Angela to grow up as a character. He is a nice guy/angel and he is described as looking like Orlando Blood *drools*. Phen is a Intangere (angel with a purpose, dunno exactly what it means) and he basically inspires people to write, compose, draw, etc. So Clara thinks he should stay away from Angela because he will break her heart in the end. Since Clara is an empath she gets a glimpse into Phen’s soul and doesn’t like what she sees not because he ‘bad’ or ‘good’ but because he is an angel and apparently angels are incapable of loving people (cause they are God’s creation and they are meant to serve only him, something like that), but they do care, just not enough. There is just something in me that makes me love reading about goths and practically everyone who stands out.Ĭlara is still dealing with her mother’s death, her brother’s disappearance, and her breakup with my fictional boyfriend, Tucker while Angela sees her secret boyfriend, Phen (Penamue). We get to see how they spent their summer in Italy before heading out to college. This is mostly Angela’s story but we also have Clara’s POV. Tucker and Warner! All I need to say to you is Since Unravel Me is pre-ordered I only need to find some money to get Boundless too. First Destroy Me and now Radiant! You people are trying to kill me! I want,I need Unravel Me and Boundless.
