Sunshine

Borrowed from Bekah (Kadollan)

I liked Sunshine (the character). I liked the normalcy about her life in the coffeehouse - frankly, I think that I would've liked the story quite a bit more if there had been more about her daily life and less about the “big bad”. I want to go back and reread this book along with “Beauty” and “Rose Daughter” and see how they work as a trilogy of sorts (not that I think McKinley intended it that way, but they are three separate versions of the Beauty and the Beast myth that she's written, so it would be an interesting topic and comparison.)

I have several unanswered questions: I wish we had been told more about who Mel actually is/was, I wish there had been a bit more resolution about what would happen from the end on to Sunshine, Constantine, and that we had been given a better idea about how she would ultimately decide to juggle the different aspects of her life and her abilities.
