capssuds 's review for:

Sunshine by Robin McKinley
4.0

All in all, I did enjoy the book. I love myself a good vampire novel, and this delivered. I much preferred this to many other vampire books I have read, but as good as this is it certianly has flaws.

1. The bad guy they had been stressed about for 300 and some odd pages was absolutely and utterly destroyed in, like... 2 pages.

2. Sunshine had good character development, I think. She's just a kid in this book (18 is a kid to me, hush, and she had several ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) moments, which the age alone made me uncomfortable) and at the end she's still a kid, but different and scared and learning.

3. Con is my child and I love him.

4. The "goddess" was introduced in the last bit was a treated as such a big issue but really had so little impact.

5. I didn't know who many of the people/slangs are. Forgive me if I'm just ignorant and can't recall minuite details, but... "com" equipment, " 'of"... where is the explanation? Who is Kenny? Oh that's her brother? ????
