I was trying to put off reading Radiant Shadows until it got closer to the release day of Darkest Mercy, and now I think that was probably a mistake. I should've have read it and waited like everyone else because going back into the series after not reading it for a while was a bit confusing and it took me a little bit to get into again. It was like starting the series and getting acquainted with the faery world that Melissa created all over again, so I probably won't be making that mistake again.
Radiant Shadows was still beautifully written just like all of the other ones. This one didn't have much of Seth and Ash, but we do get a few glimpses and definitely some more secrets revealed about Seth. The story focuses on Devlin, and if you remember from Fragile Eternity he is the one that does all the dirty deeds for Sorcha, the high Queen that lives in Faery. The other main character in the story is Ani one of the halflings, sister to Rabbit and daughter of Gabriel the Hound for the Dark Court. Even though I love the main story of Ash, Seth and Keenan I really enjoy the ones that Melissa Marr created with all these side characters that you really don't pay much attention to on the other books, but they play a very important role in this Faery world.
It did take me quite a while to get to that part of the book where I just couldn't put it down, I think it was mainly the reading mood I was in, but it wasn't until I was halfway throgh when I really got into it. Radiant Shadows was told from the point of view of Devlin and Ani but there's also another new character called Rae, a dreamwalker who's responsible for Devlin and Ani getting together and having this deep connection. This one was still pretty intense and dark just like the other books in this series. The faery world is starting to fall apart as the evil Bannanach tries to gain more power over her sister Sorcha by using Ani and planning to kill Niall and Seth. Devlin and Ani play a very important part in shifting everything to a different path and changing the Faery realm once again.
I love that we get a lot of the dark court in this one so we get to see my favorite characters from Ink Exchange, Niall and Irial. We also get a huge background on Faery and some really great character development. We get a lot of answers in this one and a few secrets that I think will be a pivotal part in the next book, I'm actually very nervous now about what might happen on the last book. Radiant Shadows was definitely an important book in the series, dark and at times very sad but with amazing characters and a plot that changes the course of things and should definitely not be missed.
