My Review: This is the 1st e-book I’ve ever
read on my Nook. It’s only a novella, but still, my first step into the world
of digital publishing. This was a change from the last too book. No Tucker and
no Jackson Hole, Wyoming, but I loved it all the same. I love Clara’s
narration, and it was awesome to have Angela narrate too. I love that it’s set
in Rome, Italy. It’s a place to easy to image even though I’ve never been
there, but I’ve seen the Lizzie McGuirre movie a bunch of time (like, years
ago) and I took Art History, so when Clara and Angela do the “Touristy Stuff,”
I had no problem picturing it. And that hot Italian boy-friend of Angela named
Phen. He was hot. Just wait until you find out who he is. He reminded me so
much of Damen from the Immortals series, but a little older looking probably.
Dark curls, brown eyes, olive skin. Hot. I want a hot Italian boy! (Even if he’s
not really Italian, still…) And this also reminded me of the Until I Die
series. I compared him to Vincent. I was nice to get to see Angela’s story. She
told us about what she did in the past summers she spent in Rome. How she met
Phen. I am so happy I got to read this. I really want a copy of Boundless now,
please! There’s a preview of the Prologue and chapter 1 after the e-novella’s
over. Enjoy!
(Note: This is my favorite series, sorry for my fangirl-ism. I can get a little crazy and excited.)
Cover Art Review: Not much of a cover since it’s an
E-book, but I do love the typography of this whole series’ titles. Radiant is
an awesome title. Love the clouds. Wish they had Rome on the cover.
