A review by emilyb_chicago
Sunshine by Robin McKinley
4.0
Yet another different view on the vampire. This is set in a parallel modern world that has a special branch of police to deal with the world of vampires, weres, demons and witches. I was completely in love with this book when I started it - it is divided into thirds and at the end of the first third I seriously thought about going back and starting over so I could extend the life of the book. There's something about the first reading that is never the same and I didn't want it to be over too soon.
All that said, I didn't love the ending as much as I did the beginning. It was all too easy, which is why it only got 4 stars. I will likely go back and reread this book sometime and see if I was just too sick to enjoy the end or if it was really not quite as good as the beginning. I am definitely going to read the sequels (which is very obviously set up).
I recommend this book to all lovers of the fantasy genera. (Robin McKinley in general is a great author. Don't be fooled by the fact that many of her books have been reprinted as young adult novels, they are good for all ages.)
