Reviews
Narrating in a contemporary voice with an honest and comfortable cadence, Riley is imperfect, but always likable as she sweeps readers to her faraway land where she makes herself and readers assess their behaviors and, quite possibly, make adjustments. In the midst of this wildly fanciful setting, Noël is able to capture with nail-on-the-head accuracy common worries and concerns of today's tweens., "Riley, who appeared in ghost form to her older sister, Ever, in No�l's bestselling Evermore, takes center stage in this middle-grade spinoff, first in a planned series. . . . her wit, attitude, and maturation should have readers gladly following her into the second installment." Publishers Weekly "I must admit there is not one thing I don't like about this book. I just listed it all the pros and there are no cons. I would rate it FIVE STARS if I was a critic.

I'd definitely recommend YA fans of Alyson No�l to pick it up. I'm looking forward to finding out what happens next with Riley and Bodhi." Mundie Moms "Alyson did a great job writing Radiance. It was what I expected and more . . . She was able to catch that young voice and portray it beautifully. . . . Radiance is a great summer read. I give it 5 BITES!" Books With Bite "Another highly creative and well thought out series for Alyson No�l! . . . No�l creates another imaginative world that is so well described it sucked me in from the very beginning. She has a very poetic style of writing that will appeal to any age . . . I highly recommend." Bellas Novella "Radiance is a sweet story, a perfect summer read . . . Like the Immortals series, No�l's world building is superb. Radiance was the perfect book to tide me over until the next Immortals book comes out.
