There are times when I'm not the fondest of reading books that are from other countries that speak some form of English or another. It can be dang difficult to keep track of the little differences between the languages- something that is quick to pull me out of the story to try and figure out what is being said.With Radiant, I didn't have that problem. The book starts from the beginning to try and bring you into the world that it's involved in. I'm still not sure how much I liked the flashbacks... I think it would've been better without them, or maybe just done in a different way so they blend better... not sure of the absolute fix there (besides ignoring my comment altogether! LOL!).The story was likable. It was one of those that there are elements that each person can connect to- even if you slip up with the different slangs. I loved the characters. Belinda did a great job with her world development and character arcs. I kinda want a couple of short stories on the side to give me a piece of each of these characters. I know you can only fit so much into one collection of words, so maybe shorts would be a great way to give each character a small piece of time for those that are interested.I'm not a fan of the cover- I'm kinda confused on it's direct connection to the story... It kinda looks like a short parking structure- she doesn't run through one of those... I just missed the connection on this one.I'd totally read the next book, I liked the characters that much. I'm curious as to what happens next. :)Check it out! It's worth the read.*I received this book in exchange for an honest review*
