Oh wow. Sunshine is not brilliant but I enjoyed it because McKinley wrote it, but Hero and the Crown and Blue sword–I love them as much if not more than the LHM*. And once you’ve read Blue Sword, you should read her short story “A Pool in the Desert” which also fits into Damar.

I don’t know if you have her YA novel Dragonhaven on your list, but I just recently go through it and it was….different. She writes it from the perspective of a modern teenage boy, and though I did eventually get caught up in the story, the first 50 pgs or so took considerable effort.

*my standard for everything in life :D

I really want to get to both of them before 2008 is over.

(And for grown-up McKinley fairy tales, may I highly recommend Deerskin, one of my all-time favorite books?)
