McKinley, Sunshine

Tue, 6 Apr 2004

A few days ago I finished Robin McKinley's latest novel, Sunshine, which had been languishing on my shelf since December. It's a vampire novel, but it's strange in a very McKinley way (unlike Pete Hautman's Sweetblood, which is strange in an entirely different way). I wouldn't have expected McKinley to write a vampire novel, but if she were to do so, she'd write one like this, as of course she did. No, that sentence doesn't really make sense, but what I mean is that despite being a completely different genre from everything else that I've read of hers, it's very much her style.
