A review by lyssa_winegar
The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley

adventurous lighthearted relaxing tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

i may be overrating this book a little, but i really love it. it's a really good book to curl up and read in the afternoon. it's one my mom read to me as a kid, and that i will probably read to my son when he's older. the only true complaints i have with the book is

that i wish the relationship between corlath and harry was more explicitly romantic earlier in the book, and that the final line of the book is very unsatisfying as a conclusion.
