Robin McKinley is an awesome author. As of 2009 she had 15 book under her belt. So far everyone one of her's that I've read, I've LOVED! She is also the author of Sunshine, the 4th book in our 2010 BRT Book Challenge. Sunshine origionally came out in 2003 with this cover: But in 2008 was re-released with this cover: No matter the cover, this is a wonderful book.

I really liked the book, but was really dissapointed to find out that there wasn't going to be a sequal...EVER! Cuz there is so much there to work with.

ok so i give this book 2 stars....i hardly understood what was going on half the time because she rambled on about other things so I was always getting lost. I like Sunshine but I don't understand why if she knew her heritage why not investigate further. She's done so many things behind her mother's back why not this. Then again I suppose she just wanted to lead and ordinary life and was happy being a baker. I'm confused about Con and his relationship with Sunshine. If there was a second book would it develop into something deeper? I think the book has potential but it could have been better. But that is my opinion.

I've found that the long, descriptive, long, rambling paragraphs were difficult for a lot of people I've recommended this book to. I'm also disappointed that there will be no sequel, but I have never known this author to do a sequel for her books (I could be wrong), so it's not that unexpected to me. However, I found the style of writing and the content refreshing with so much of the same story being told over and over again in vampire books nowadays. And the imagery (ah, my fair cinnamin buns) was fabulous. I give this star 4.75 stars myself, but I'm in love with the book, so I might be biased. ;D
