Irony is the Shackles of Youth

Well, over the last few days I've read two books: Sunshine by Robin McKinley and The Black Gryphon by Mercedes Lackey (and Larry Dixon if the cover of my copy is to be believed). Sunshine was something I'd been meaning to read, but hadn't gotten around to. The Black Gryphon is an old favorite of mine that I've read so many times that the spine is broken. This takes quite a few readings to happen since I am extremely anal about not damaging my books.

I think The Black Gryphon is one of Lackey's better books, and I know I've talked about about Lackey's writing in other posts. So I'll concentrate on Sunshine for my commentary.
