Sunshine by Robin McKinley




This is another of my favourite books.

10 Great things about this book

1. The heroine loves baking and understands the profoundly mystical significance of cinnamon rolls as large as your head.

2. The heroine has learnt many useful and lifesaving things from her dedicated novel and trashy newsfeed reading habit (See - it is good for me!!)

3. Decent plot

4. Great ensemble cast

5. Convincing world building - You can see the world Sunshine lives in

6. Quiet heroes - Like Mr Darcy both Con and Mel benefit from saying little but acting with integrity

7. Great baddies human and non human

8. No annoying Rice-ian sex scenes despite the fact Vampires exist in the world

9. Great anthromorphism - I like the way McKinley creates characters for things as well as people. It keeps things lively

10. Happy Ever After
