I have read other books by Robin McKinley and enjoyed them very much but her writing style does take some getting used to. So at first I thought that my frustration was that I haven't read one of her books in a while and just needed to keep reading, but this book was so random. Sunshine is an interesting concept but the author rambles on and on and on about meaningless topics that really have nothing to do with anything! I kept finding myself thinking "what have I missed?" Well...Nothing she is just talking about random stuff again that hasnt been explained! UGH, Frustrating!
