Radiance

My favorite character in this book so far is Riley Bloom. Riley is a 12 year old girl, who died from a car accident who now lives in Here (which is an the afterlife). She is the only main character introduced so far; all of the other characters are minor characters. I like how Riley speaks her mind when she has opinions. She also is a very determined person who likes to back up whatever she has done or said. Her mind is working constantly trying to figure things out. I had to pick a trait to have like her it would be her determination. She is a very determined girl and its her determination that got her where she is now in the book. However, I don't like her 'annoying little sister' trait. She is more similar to my youngest sister in that way. Riley likes to bug her sister just as much as my sister likes to bug me. But in both cases Ever and I put up with it. In the end, Riley is a good person with determination and devotion to her 'place' in the book so far.
