Finally a stand-alone novel that encompasses vampires that are not angsty teenagers that sparkle! It's gritty, it's (somewhat) gory and it tends to put the vampires back in the monster and horror department as it should be! It's nice to see that there are authors out there that can tell the differen...
I'm going to borrow part of Neil Gaiman's review and say this book is pretty much perfect. There's only one scene that kind of dragged but otherwise I loved it all. The world building was unbelievable in a good way. Sometimes when there is so much detail I get bored but when she would throw out s...
First time reading Robin McKinley. I have heard good things about her, but she struck me as a bit of a fanta-twee author. Anyway, Sunshine was on sale at Audible, and I like a good vampire story, so decided to check it out.First, if I'd known about the romantic undercurrents, I'd have run screaming....
Rae "Sunshine" Seddon is a pastry chef who refers to herself simply and humbly as "a baker," yet her pastries draw in all sorts of characters from all over New Arcadia, a sleepy small town that's on its way to covering after the great "Voodoo Wars." The wars which happened several years ago pitted h...
I read this new book in one long gulp on the plane from the US to Argentina this week. The book is very well written, and begins with the promise of a fully fleshed world that is similar to ours, and a magic that is hidden and unknown. The kind of book I like, after all. So it's good, if you like th...
“The train is roaring toward you and the villain is twirling his mustache and you're fussing that he's tied you to the tracks with the wrong kind of rope.”― Robin McKinley, Sunshine
Before I say anything else, can I just say that I was actually having dreams about this book throughout the entire time that I was reading it? I literally dreamed about things going on in this book, that's how much I got sucked into it. It was seriously on my mind ALL throughout the day and--apparen...
I liked the first part, very much. Some terms and phrases disagreed with me, but overall, it was well written and entertaining. I generally like Robin Mckinley. I would have loved to give this one 4 stars, despite the fact that I detest vampires.The second half . . . was slow, and confusing, and rev...
I first read "Sunshine" years ago. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was the first vampire-type book I ever read. It's a bit slow at times, a little too heavy on the descriptive passages and too light on the action, and yet still, it drew me in. The only real complaint I have/had is the ambiguous relation...
