Robin McKinley NEVER MISSES. I love her worldbuilding, how the magic and animals are so natural for the world, so close and yet so different from our regular everyday experience. She writes the everyday experience of living with magic so well.
My favourite part of any Robin McKinley book is the final battle or resolution, and Spindle’s End is no different. I got sucked into the whirlwind of magic and emotions during the final confrontation and was ripping through the pages to get to the next bit. I love the scale and feel of the magic involved.
I also really do think that the romance in her books is the type of romance we need more of - steady, solid, uncomplaining, and just unavoidably there.
