(Oct. 22) Wow! Where to start?
What an intricate tale. There was a lot to digest, so it took me longer than normal to read this book. But it wasn’t for lack of desire.
I think there was a lot of information that we, as readers, needed to get before the story could really take off but once we had that information, boy did it!
The story was original, the premise pretty amazing and once I went to Diana’s website and read up on the history of unicorns I was blown away by it.
I really like Astrid and Phil, the cousins were more like sisters, a little bickering but when it came down to it extremely protective.
Of course I liked any time Giovanni was in the picture, never really liked Seth, but had a feeling about Neil.
I hated, passionately, Astrid’s mother, even in the end, she didn’t redeem herself to me.
The other hunter’s were so diverse. It was nice to see.
I can’t say much more because I don’t want to ruin it for you if you haven’t read it yet, but once you get past the first 100 pages or so you’ll be sucked in.
Go get a copy.
And now a couple passages from the book...
Melissande nodded. “In my family, they say that Alexander’s military power was due to Bucephalus. That he planned his strategy with the unicorn, carried on conversations with it. That’s why he couldn’t conquer anymore after Bucephalus was gone.”
“A talking unicorn?” Cory said skeptically. “I think that’s a tad unrealistic.”
I let out a bark of laughter. That was the unrealistic part?
“I should be extra careful around here, though,” he said. “Someone from teh program could catch us.” He kept his voice low when he spoke to me, and occasionally broke into Italian when teh door to the restaurant opened.
“Ferrari, espresso, Dolce e Gabbana, biscotti, fettuccini,” I said one time in response.
He burst out laughing.
