One great, gripping story, one story that seemed to cut off at the good part, one story with a plot but not a lot of intensity, and one story with a magic user who keeps getting accused of worse and worse things and responds with equanimity to all. I think you've captured the way Shinn writes for sure. When I read her books I often get sucked in by the language--plot sometimes seems to be secondary. <br /><br />I was pleased with the secret keeper, Summers in Castle Auburn, and her Jane Eyre rewrite (and who would do that? weird, but it worked), and put down some other books that seemed to have no plot at all.
