It ties up most loose ends, but it is too fast for it to truly make sense.This first sequel to A Beautiful Dark (2011) works mostly as romance and exposition, setting up the final book in the planned trilogy. My one complaint with this book is that the ending is rushed. Cassie and Dan provide cute comic relief while Ian provides a potential love interest and a good friend. Now that Skye’s friends are on her side, the book has light-hearted moments. Skye’s visions of the future add even more suspense as we are given pieces of what will happen, not enough information to know how it will end or when it will happen. This allows for exciting story and builds both tension and suspense. With angels harassing and attacking her, there are very few moments where Skye is at peace. As the final book in the series, A Radiant Sky doesn’t disappoint. Her desire to protect her loved ones is now more prominent than ever, especially since she is now being attacked by the angels who once protected her. In A Radiant Sky, she is attacked mentally and physically causing her to question her position in the war. Throughout all the books, Skye is extremely smart, caring, and emotional. She has control over her immense powers and fights hard for her family and to maintain the independence she has chosen. Finally, in A Radiant Sky, Skye is a force to be reckoned with. She slowly moved away from relying on Asher to trusting her instincts until she finally found her independence. In A Fractured Light, Skye was developing control of her powers and discovering her internal strength. In A Beautiful Dark, Skye had no powers and was reliant on both Asher and Devin. Skye has grown a lot over the six months this trilogy takes place. Skye is repeatedly harassed by the Order and the Rebellion as she tries to pick up where her parents left off and find the balance between light and dark.

She makes her own small group causing the Order and the Rebellion to declare war on her. Skye has denounced both the Order and the Rebellion claiming her mixed powers don’t allow her to be entirely light or entirely dark. Jocelyn Davies’s A Radiant Sky is the final book in the A Beautiful Dark`trilogy.Ī Radiant Sky picks seconds after where A Fractured Light left off.
