  • Sunshine is as sunny as a dark and cloudy day! Better go out for a walk, even without the sun shining!1

    MissPageTurner After reading the book's back-text I was curious about Sunshine, because it promised to be a 400 pages long breaking-free-struggle and about dealing with the interesting situation of a human and vampire being imprisoned together.
    But the book's back only describes the story's beginning and the exciting imprisonment scene has an ending even before I've reached page 100. What about the remaining 300 pages?
    Well, I do not want to offend someone, especially the author, because writing a novel is a lot of work and should be highly respected, but I have to express my disappointment now.

    The story of Sunshine then develops a very strange and uninteresting fight against an evil vampire. In the end I couldn't even follow the plot. My imagination (usually very vivid) couldn't keep up and so I just finished it, because I hate giving up a novel until I've read its last page.
    There are pages over pages describing the heroine Sunshine baking. Furthermore every friend and family member is introduced (which would be a nice thing to establish a connection to every character) but I wondered where their active plot parts were and why the author had to describe them so detailed when there was no further role for them.

    Another quibble about Sunshine is the relation between Sunshine and the vampire Constantine. There is an existing relationship between them, but it is never clearly defined so that I always waited for a determining event, action, expression of emotions... in vain.

    Despite my critique, I would still give another Robin McKinley novel a chance hereafter, because every novel is different and remember: Just because I didn't like it, you have to avoid this novel, too. Maybe give it a chance and find out yourself if you like Sunshine!

    THE VERDICT

    Sunshine does not shine very brightly! Read this novel only if you are a huge fan of Robin McKinley or interested in very detailed and long-winded descriptions of sub-plots. by MissPageTurner

    Madeleine Gayler Another fantastic and gripping book from Robin McKinley!

    Sunshine is set in an alternative reality after the Voodoo Wars have occurred between the humans and the 'others'. Rae works as a pastry-chef in a cafe and one day is taken hostage and wakes to find herself chained to a wall in an abandoned mansion. Chained up next to her is a mysterious man and despite all her misgivings, they must work together to escape.

    Sunshine is a fantastic story that leaves you wanting more! by Madeleine Gayler
