Summary
The prince of no value
Brishen Khaskem, prince of the Kai, has lived content as the nonessential spare heir to a throne secured many times over. A trade and political alliance between the human kingdom of Gaur and the Kai kingdom of Bast-Haradis requires that he marry a Gauri woman to seal the treaty. Always a dutiful son, Brishen agrees to the marriage and discovers his bride is as ugly as he expected and more beautiful than he could have imagined.
The noblewoman of no importance
Ildiko, niece of the Gauri king, has always known her only worth to the royal family lay in a strategic marriage. Resigned to her fate, she is horrified to learn that her intended groom isn't just a foreign aristocrat but the younger prince of a people neither familiar nor human. Bound to her new husband, Ildiko will leave behind all she's known to embrace a man shrouded in darkness but with a soul forged by light.
Two people brought together by the trappings of duty and politics will discover they are destined for each other, even as the powers of a hostile kingdom scheme to tear them apart.

Absolutely love this book but...
The narrator has a pronounced lisp, which was all I could hear, it was distracting

Mesmerizing storytelling
This is one of those times, when you are happy you took a chance on a new author and one of their stories. Kind of like getting to know a new kind of poetry. The combination of this story and the narrator is surprisingly much like that. The voice of the author and the narrator, both new to me, are so mesmerizing I have been in a kind of a daze the whole time listening. Just marveling. Very happy with this experience. And be in no doubt, this story is an experience.
At first when choosing to buy this story, I was worried it would include too much dread. But no, it is perfectly balanced with the wonder of new things, good storyline, plots and soft humor of all things. Making the story light enough to be perfect for me, even with the grim bits. Really good character development and world building helps. While I hesitate on the second story in the series, seems more grim, I want the third one. Probably am too curious to skip the next though. And most probably will go there right away, am hooked on the flair of this storytelling and don´t want another voice to ruin my haze.

Arranged marriage love
Both the people, who are of different races, in the politicly arranged marriage accept their situation. No poor me, weeping etc they move forward and learn to love each other.
A strong story, a good listen and a good read.

Glad I got this audiobook; beautifully narrated
Read the negative reviews but decided to listen to the sample & found myself disagreeing with the less-than-stellar comments. Really chuffed I got Radiance especially when travelling or waiting. I am a fan of Draven’s books and have read them all - several times for ‘Radiance’ and enjoyed the narration which is superb. I have Georgette Heyer’s audiobooks too and have heard a variety of narrators. This one for Draven is making me a fan of her style!

Original characters, predictable storyline
Positives: I did really enjoy listening to this book and got through it really fast. The fact that neither of the main characters are remotely attracted to each other at first, finding each other's appearance scary and ugly, was original and interesting.
Negatives: Obviously, as it's a romance you know the two lead characters will fall in love and 'get it on'. However, it would have been nice if there were a few unexpected twists along the way that affect Ildiko & Brishen's relationship. Also, it's clear that a book 2 might be on the way but I wouldn't read it as I feel the story of Ildiko and Brishen's relationship has been concluded and there hasn't been enough outside of it in the plot of this book to entice me to read on.
