PRAISE FOR THE WRITING OF ROBIN McKINLEY

Rose Daughter

“Every sentence and every occurrence seems infused by magic. I will keep this book. I will reread it, time and again; it has earned its place as one of my odd coterie of bedside companions.” —Fantasy & Science Fiction

“McKinley is at home in a world where magic is a mainstay and, with her passion for roses, she’s grafted a fully dimensional espalier that is a tangled, thorny web of love, loyalty, and storytelling sorcery. Fullest appreciation of Rose Daughter may be at an adult level.” —School Library Journal

“Readers will be enchanted, in the best sense of the word.” —Booklist

Deerskin

“A fierce and beautiful story of rage and compassion, betrayal and loyalty, damage and love … A fairy tale for adults, one you’ll never forget.” —Alice Hoffman, New York Times–bestselling author of At Risk and Seventh Heaven

“I did so much enjoy Robin McKinley’s Deerskin.… I respect her writing and reread her constantly, finding new perceptions each time.” —Anne McCaffrey, bestselling author of Damia’s Children

“An enormously powerful novel … Dreamlike, urgent, inexplicable … Robin McKinley has created a world where nightmare and hope exist side by side.”—Patricia A. McKillip, author of The Sorceress and the Cygnet

“A wonderful story, wonderfully told.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune

“Award-winning author McKinley turns her storytelling acumen and stylistic grace toward an adult audience.… A classic journey-tale and a parable for modern times.” —Library Journal

“Superlative.” —Booklist

Sunshine

“Pretty much perfect.” —Neil Gaiman

“Sunshine is quite possibly the best vampire book published in my lifetime.” —Melissa Marr, author of the Wicked Lovely series

“The charm of this long venture into magic maturation derives from McKinley’s keen ear and sensitive atmospherics, deft characterizations and clever juxtapositions of reality and the supernatural.… McKinley knows very well—and makes her readers believe—that ‘the insides of our own minds are the scariest things there are.’” —Publishers Weekly

“A luminous, entrancing novel with an enthralling pair of characters at its heart.” —Booklist

“Step into Robin McKinley’s thrilling, beautifully described world.” —Jayne Ann Krentz, bestselling author

“A smart, funny tale of suspense and romance.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“Sunshine takes everything we have always known about the menacing eroticism of pale men with sharp teeth, and throws it up into the air.” —Time Out

“McKinley [balances] the dark drama with light touches of humor. Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer will feel at home, but McKinley’s novel has its own originality and depth.” —Orlando Sentinel

“A good book with some nice little twists on the magic theme.” —The Kansas City Star

“Well-written and exciting.” —Rocky Mountain News
