More sketches of Brishen. I love the idea of playing up his monster side. I mean, we know he's hot XD but I don't want to make him instantly pretty. Also testing out some new colors of liquid watercolors. Love them!

A woman with the gift to speak to the dead—and the assassin pursuing her—may be the only chance a crumbling empire has of holding back tru
There is a lot going on in Raven Unveiled, and honestly, the romance was the least of it for me. Grace Draven has built a fascinating world and characters that are as intriguing as the story itself. I found Siora interesting to say the least, but Gharek intrigued me even more. He's just the other side of morally gray, and the relationship between Gharek and Siora is so complex. As I mentioned, the romance was the least of it for me, and I think a big part of that is because I kind of liked them better as enemies. Whatever the reason, I'll stop there, so I don't give away the book's secrets. There are so many working parts, and I don't want to spoil the story for anyone. The book is very well written with vivid descriptions and fascinating characters. If you like fantasy, I'd suggest giving this one a look.
To help with my ACOSF hangover, I just finished re-reading Radiance, the first in the Wraith Kings trilogy. I discovered these books last year sometime during a reading slump and I’m so glad I did. They are not very well known, which is a shame! I highly recommend them. They are a quick and good read 🤍
Happy Monday! Finished reading Radiance last week and I have to say I really enjoyed the story and the characters interaction, I just ordered book 2 cause I can’t wait to see what’s next. • • • • • #radiance #wraithkings #gracedraven #fantasy #fantasyromance #paranormalromance #highfantasy #book #booktuber #boontube https://www.instagram.com/p/CFHg8Frgxdv/?igshid=122ofpekd7z4a

Radiance Review
Description: ~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.
My Thoughts: [book:Radiance|24473763] was a fantastic book. It had me hooked the whole way through. I couldn't put it down. I am looking foreword to the next one in the Wraith Kings series.
What i liked: - The Characters: So both Brishen and Ildiko were awesome. I feel in love with both of them from the first chapter. They are both so lovable and their relationship was so wholesome. You can't help but route for both of them. Plus for this book only being a little over 200 pages the characters were well established by chapter 10. You knew who they were and you got to see fantasitc character development. In radiance you route for the good characters and wish the villains would go and jump of the cliff.
-The World: What we got to know of the world was so interesting and the culture of the kai was so cool. The way everything was described. I could really see it clearly in mind. I'm looking foreword for more world building and i'm hoping now that the characters are established we will get more court politics *fingers crossed*
-The Romance: Oh dear god i lived for their romance. It was so amazing. This book had the best slow burn romance i've read in a while. I loved it. Also you really got the feel that they were actually in love. I never got a "yeah right" feeling about their romance. I also really liked that there wasn't the miscommunication troupe you see in a lot of romance based novels. The characters actually talked to each other like adults. Oh i also have to mentions the sexy scenes. They were so good.
-Action moments: The fight scenes were so cool and written very well. (The kai are badasses)
-Fantasy elements: The romance didn't take over the fantasy elements. You got both nicely wrapped up in this little package. The fantasy elements were very cool. :)
What i didn't like: -I wish there was more world building. But i expect that will come with the future book as well if i read the novellas.
-More romance: Don't get me wrong i loved the romance we got and i loved that it was a slow burn i just wanted a bit more romance.
-Rushed ending: So i thought the ending was great but it seemed really fast. I think with an extra 50 or so pages the ending wouldn't of felt more rushed. And what i mean by a rushed ending it just seemed like a big part of the ending just happened easily. At least thats how i feel.
Okay ya'll thats it! Like i said earlier i really enjoyed this. I want to reccomend [book:Radiance|24473763] by [author:Grace Draven|2759153] to anyone who likes fantasy romance. Especially if you like slow burn romances with heavy fantasy elements.
Stars: ★★★★★

Have you ever read a book that you instantly knew you needed to own? Phoenix Unbound by Grace Draven was most certainly one of those books for me. Phoenix Unbound kept me invested throughout the entire book. I love a good enemies to friends tale and this was the perfect one. I loved the magic woven throughout, as well as the story of sacrifice and justice and betrayal and love. Gilene is certainly no handmaiden in need of rescuing and I’m so glad she stayed fierce through the whole book. 10/10 would read again!!! • • • • • • What’re y’all reading this summer??

A quick work in progress of Brishen, before work :) It needs a lot more refining but I'm pleased to have a start.
