I've had Radiant for a while. but never got around to reading it until recently. I liked it, and I liked seeing Angela and Clara in Rome. We met Phen in this novella, and while he makes an appearance in Boundless, I only have vague memories of him (which totally means I need to re-read Unearthly again, and probably should have re-read it before Radiant but oh well, too late). Still, I liked seeing Phen before the events of Boundless and how Angela met him. Actually, Angela's chapters were really interesting because we do see her remembering some things and we're in her head a little bit. The narration by Angela and Clara...I liked it, but I will say that I was much more intrigued with Angela's story, since the series is about Clara's purpose. Actually, Clara and Angela are so tied together because of Boundless, so I was actually glad I read it after the fact, because I enjoyed it knowing what was going to happen. Still, I wish I had read the series so I wouldn't be so fuzzy on the details. Radiant gets 3 stars.
