Tris, the weather mage introduced in the previous series, Circle of Magic, now travels to Tharios, where. The mage's guardianship of a girl who has been orphaned by the Ghost, and her responsible use of magic, shows how she has matured since Tris's Book (1998, both Scholastic). Tamora Pierce closes her The Circle Opens quartet of fantasy novels with Shatterglass. Keth's status as an adult and his existing knowledge of his craft make the relationship between him and Tris interesting, and their often-sarcastic repartee adds humor to a serious plot.

I've grown to like Angela so much over the course of this series, and it was great to sneak a peek at her brain. With RADIANT, it was fun to see not just the perspective of Clara, but her best friend, Angela, too. Hand is great at developing her secondary characters. This is one reason I loved UNEARTHLY so very much. You want to know more about her family and friends, too. One of my favorite things about the Unearthly Trilogy is the way author Cynthia Hand forces readers to care about all of the book's characters, not just the main character and her love interest(s). It's a great short story to tide readers over until BOUNDLESS comes out on January 22nd. Since RADIANT is a novella, I'm reviewing it in flash format.

The book really took you into the world of the "lovers.'"
