![]() I thoroughly enjoy that because (as I would imagine most readers do) I fall in love with the characters, especially if they are an underdog and are fighting against injustice. McKinley gives you an end to the story but not to the character. McKinley is an expert at creating a story that is like highlighting a single major event in someone's life. You're left wanting more, wondering what happens next. ![]() ![]() I would like to see a sequel to Shadows (like most of McKinley's books). There is also a tremendous amount of responsibility on Maggie that is coming from an unknown source and the further into the book we go the more clearly we can see the consequences if Maggie fails. Meaning, Maggie thrown into a world that she doesn't fully understand (so she's scared) and wields a great deal of power (magic) to change the course of events. ![]() Maggie (our main character) is similar to a lot of McKinley's protagonist. Mainly that it's set in a more modern day world with technology that includes magic. I've classified this book as a fiction/steampunk because it does have some steampunk qualities to it. So with that disclaimer here is a brief overview of Shadows. ![]() Robin McKinley is one of my favorite authors of all time. ![]()
