Pegasus--Robin McKinley. "Anyway, the book is rich and wonderful and beautifully written. In some ways it reminded me a bit of The Blue Sword, and in others I could totally see the Beauty and the Beast motif that’s in every one of McKinley’s books that I can think of. And yet, it’s certain its own story."
I will just keep telling you all to read this until you have. READ IT.
Kate Morton's debut novel is just that---a beginning novel, but an excellent read, albeit with a few predictable plot conventions that fans of her other works are familiar with. I find her to be a plot driven novelist as opposed to character driven, but I enjoy the period she writes about, and as someone who enjoys the PBS Masterpiece Theater series, Downton Abbey, the period is certainly a lot of fun to read about.
"But in the day-to-day grind of the ensuing months, all that clarity slipped away. Completely. Joy as a category seemed . . . irrelevant. Nice but unessential. Like owning a hot tub. And distant too. The hot tub is in Fiji. Wouldn’t it be nice? Ain’t going to happen. Life’s not really about joy. I’ve got all this stuff that has to get done. The mail is stacking up, and I haven’t paid the bills in two months. The Service Engine Soon light came on in the Honda. Joy? Life’s about surviving—and getting a little pleasure. That’s what seemed true. Really now—how much do you think about joy? Do you see it as essential to your life, something God insists on?"
