OLDER FICTION
Wein, Elizabeth E.

The Sunbird

(1) YA As in The Sunbird's predecessors, Wein delights in taking strong characters, giving them solid ideals, setting them in the crucible of a challenging situation, and applying narrative torque until they are transformed into purer metals. Here, the character so transformed is Telemakos, the half-Ethiopian son of anti-hero Medraut. Gripping and hard-hitting, this book has the richness and moral complexity of the first two.
