Radiant is a long twisted journey featuring two main characters. Xhea, who thinks she has no magic but can see ghosts and Shai who is a ghost and has more magic than others. Most of Radiant is back-story and world building. All of that is done while following Xhea and Shai as they try to survive in a world that was destroyed some time in the past. Magic is a big part of this world and those with little live in the ruins. Those with a lot live in towers kept aloft with magic. During the story Xhea and Shai spend time in both.

It is an easy story to fall into. Radiant is well written. The main characters are well defined. The main plot is the only weakness. Xhea and Shai never had a goal other than to stay out of the wrong hands. Their journey is used to build the world and to tell the back story. It is only in the Epilogue that there is a hint of where they are going and why. I still enjoyed the book and will pick up book two when it comes out. I want to see what will happen to the two and where they will end up.
