I lucked out this Christmas and received an ARC of Radiant Shadows, the upcoming 4th installment in Melissa Marr’s series.
As you can probably guess from the cover, Radiant Shadows involves the Hounds and further explores the relationship between the Hounds and the Dark Court. Ani, Gabriel’s daughter whom we met in Ink Exchange, is the main female protagonist of the story. Seth, Devlin, Irial, and Nial are all back.
This is not a direct sequel to Fragile Eternity. Radiant Shadows focuses on the dark and High Courts and a single major event that will affect all the courts, but the plot does not involve itself in the ongoing romantic struggles of Aislinn, Keenan, Donia, and Seth.
I really enjoyed Radiant Shadows and was overjoyed at receiving an advance copy. The tiny town of Huntsdale has really become a realm unto itself, effortlessly absorbing old Celtic folklore into an urban setting. The modernization of faerie myth and lore is what I love about this series. Well…that…and Seth. (Of couse! <3) But I also enjoyed the fact that Radiant Shadows took the opportunity to explore outside present day Huntsdale and delve further into Faerie.
I can’t wait until the rest of you can read this book and hope that Radiant Shadows continues to grow Melissa Marr’s fanbase. I think by the fifth book the fan culture around this book could really explode.
