100 Word Book Review: The Silver Sun by Nancy Springer
(Originally posted July 3, 2010)
Let me be honest, this is not a good book. As someone who has taken numerous writing classes, there are flaws– many, many flaws. But try telling that to my twelve year old self.
I loved The Silver Sun. I loved the characters. I loved the dichotomy of one being the end times king and one being the beginning times king. I had no idea leaving the mainland to go to an island with the elves was derivative.
I still love the book because it helps me remember me at the time it was the best thing I’d ever read.
