Helpful Score: 6
This was a very good book which could have been great. When Ms. McKinley is on (which is the majority of the book) her writing is crisp and clear, the pacing pulls you into the story, and the characters click into place. However there are spots in the story where the plot drags, the world tilts, and the characters falter.
The post-apocalyptic world which Sunshine inhabits is never really fully developed leaving the reader to make large intuitive leaps. Many character developments are hinted at but not explored. And the wide open ending left me looking for a sequel, which Ms. McKinley has stated she has no intentions of writing at the present.
All in all it was a decent read, but one I walked away from feeling a bit disappointed.
