Well, here we are. Book 4 and final in the Unicorn Chronicles. This has been a journey that occurred over quite a few years, but in a way, I feel like I never left Luster. The world and characters that Coville created were just as fresh in my mind as they were when I loved the books in grade school. I know a lot of this is probably based in feelings of nostalgia. Whatever. I enjoyed it.At 600 pages, this book is a beast especially for the tweenage demographic that I feel like it best fits, butHow do you review a book you've been waiting all your life to finally read? I began the Unicorn Chronicles as a Second Grader, and finished them eighteen years later. So much changed with these last two books. A very strange but amazing thing happened as I dove into the final two installments. Cara remained basically the same age, lending an air of timelessness to this tale. It brought me back to my childhood, but the world of Luster expanded so much I felt like this series grew up with me. It
Originally posted at my book review blog: http://www.active-voice.net/2010/06/2...Beloved has finally broken through into Luster, the land of the Unicorns, and brought the Hunt with her. As the Hunters start their genocide, the unicorns gather together and find allies of their own -- but if they can't find a way to get back their fighting fire, it could be the end of the unicorns forever. But Beloved's mad Hunt has an unintended consequence: the gate she opened is right in the heart of Luster,
A very satisfying conclusion to Coville's Unicorn Chronicles. I couldn't put this book down until I finished it.I read the first book in the series when I was in 6th grade. Shortly after, when I found the 2nd book I was ecstatic and read it nearly non-stop. Imagine my horror and surprise to find the rest of the series was not yet available!! Fast-forward more than a few years and I recently discovered that the final two books of the series were now available. I sat down in the space of about a
I've been waiting 13 years for the final book in this series. I hope it lives up to my expectations. *Fingers are crossed****SPOILER ALERT!***... Just finished. I realized about a quarter in that Bruce has really expanded this series. The first book was about 150 pages and had a single viewpoint. This final book is about 600 pages and has close to twenty viewpoints. Perhaps he meant to make this series an epic fantasy all along. But it was not what I was expecting style-wise.Also, I've never
Final book in the Unicorn Chronicles. Cara is terrified. Beloved has literally ripped her way into Luster in order to finish her final hunt. Because of this terrible act, the entire world of Luster is tearing itself apart; the passage that Beloved created tore through the heart of the world - the Axis Mundi. Axis Mundi is a tree, taller than any other - taller and grander in order to contain the heart of Luster. Because of Beloved's treachery, the citizens of Luster not only have to fear
(Disclaimer: Bruce has edited not only some of my short stories, but also some of my unicorn short stories. So I'm not an unbiased reader here.)If my inner 10-year-old has a strong thread of horse girl in her, she has an even stronger thread of unicorn girl. (The two are somewhat entwined, but not entirely.) And she and I have both been waiting for the conclusion of The Unicorn Chronicles for something like fifteen years now. We're not at all disappointed that we waited.One of the many things I
