I thought Radiance was very good ,it was unique ! And the ending ....
The Irin series I really liked it , it had a lot about Turkey and Persia in it and the story itself was fantastic . I think there will be more books in this world.

For a book to get 5 stars it has to blow me away and let me think about it for days. I think the closes to 5-stars I got this year was with our buddy read of the second book of Chalion...that got 4.5 stars!


message 18: by ShoSho , Moderator (new)

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments Hopefully #3 in that series will be as good!
